Does a Liftmaster battery backup work with a Chamberlain Whisper Drive?
Chamberlain has been manufacturing garage door openers and opener products for many years
under several names including Liftmaster and Craftsman. Batter backups are a system that
allows your garage door opener to open and close in the event of a power failure. The battery
collects and stores energy that is used to open and close the garage door during power
outages.
A Liftmaster battery backup is compatible with the Chamberlain Whisper Drive. You must know
the model number of your Chamberlain Whisper Drive and then purchase the proper Liftmaster
battery backup system. Battery backup systems are not universal.
The Liftmaster 485LM Evercharge Garage Door Opener Battery Backup System is compatible
for Liftmaster and Chamberlain garage door openers calling for part # 41A6357-1. Check the
owner’s manual for your operator to determine if this is the replacement part number you
need. If you want a professional garage door company to install or change one for you,
the price will be between $160-$180.
The Liftmaster 475LM Evercharge Battery Backup System is compatible with Chamberlain
Whisper Drive 3850, 3800 Jackshaft, 2500, 2500B, 2500D, and 3500. Check your model number
to verify compatibility with your Chamberlain Model Number. This product is available online
for $79.95
Again battery backups are not universal and you must determine the manufacturer and model
number of your garage door opener and then purchase the proper battery backup system to
work with your unit. Information about compatibility can be found online or by contacting a
local garage door service company.
