IndustryNews Zoller Consulting Inc. Market Data Strategic Planning Business Brokerage Thinking of Selling your Garage Door Dealership? Thinking of Expanding and Acquiring Another Dealership? Genie® and Interstate Batteries® Team Up ® Two great American brands, The Genie Company and Interstate Batteries®, have come together to help ensure your garage door opener still works when the power does not. Genie's new battery back-up unit, which works with current production models of the company's popular TriloG™ and IntelliG® openers, features an eight (8) AMP hour sealed lead acid (SLA) battery. The magic of this battery is its ability to drive the TriloG and IntelliG's uniquely powerful 140V DC motors. This provides the exceptional performance needed when weather or other elements play havoc with power to any home. As an added beneft, the opener's safety and security features function normally even if operating under battery power. The battery itself, which is distributed by Interstate Batteries, can operate up to 50 cycles* in a 24-hour period after the initial power outage and is backed by a full one-year warranty from time of installation. LED indicators help the homeowner know the status of the battery, including green (ready-state), yellow (charging or internal charge is low) and red (needs charged). It will work on properly balance garage doors that have a maximum height of eight feet and maximum weight of 500 pounds, which covers the vast majority of residential doors. The optional accessory offers great fexibility for the homeowner in that it can be purchased at the same time as the opener or in the future, should the homeowner decide it isn't something needed at the moment. This is due to the intelligent design of the TriloG screw drive and IntelliG belt and chain openers, which have a connector port that the battery can be plugged into with a single cable connector at any time. That means homeowners who live in power-outage prone areas or just want the added security of having battery back-up can get exactly what they want with their opener purchase, while others who don't want the option do not have to pay for it but can do so if desired at a later time. Other garage door opener battery back-up units are integrated into the opener even though a homeowner may not want or need it. For more information visit www.GenieCompany.com. Zoller Consulting Inc.
