CA requires a back-up battery because of wild fires. If you need to evacuate quickly, you'll want to use your car. Some people may only have an accessible car in the garage but if the power is out, how will they open the garage open? Yes, there's the emergency cord to manually open and close the door. But not many know about it, know how to operate it or even have the strength to operate it. Imagine your elderly parents in a panic trying to evacuate quickly and but don't have arm strength to pull on the emergency cord or not tall enough or the car is in the way of getting access to it. Then the real panic and irrational thinking starts to set in. But if the garage door can operate with just a backup battery in case of emergency, that's a great peace of mind to have for a little extra $. CA firefighters have found people who died in their garage trying to get out, especially the elderly. Hence the CA law requires backup battery.

Until your power goes out. It's my main entrance to my house. Power goes off while I am not there it gets tricky. It's happened more than once here in the midwest

I think they're being technically proper is all it is: horsepower is always an equivalency measurement. The power of motor "X" is equivalent to "Y" horsepower - which is a measurement devised by James Watt to compare steam engines to work previously done by horses.

Installed one a few years ago and it's been solid. It's amazing how quiet it is. I use the app/remote capabilities more than I thought I would (even just to check if it's open).

Hence, battery backup. Ah, the marvels of technology.

Do they still allow you to change the batteries yourself, or did they dictate that only California-state-licensed-bonded-unionized-certified-trained-green-technicians are allowed to service the batteries (at $199 per service call to be mandated every 3 months)? CA citizens certainly can't be trusted to remember to change their own batteries.

Chain will last longer for heavy doors
I wonder what they mean by equivalent hp
Once I installed belt drive opener, I would never go back to chain. There is not comparison between them regarding noise. Moreover, if belt is broken, you can always replace it. The cost should be much.

Thank you OP. Bought 2 including installation. And no, to maintain the slickdeal tradition, I did not read anything before purchasing

I will be damned if i can find out how to actually get it to add install for 87. It shows it on the services page but I cannot figure out a way to add it to the purchase.

If you can spend the 5 minutes to learn how to open your garage door manually I'd probably skip anything with a "battery backup" and just get a cheaper one. Unless you live in a state where the legislature decided you're too stupid to handle this.
I think it's a safety thing with all the wildfires. I guess people in CA don't know how to open the garage in the case of an emergency.

Purchased and installed one of these over the weekend, took about 2 hours with simple hand tools and an impact drill. Very happy with the end result, super quiet and easy to program. The myQ app is great too if you're like me and constantly ask "did I close the garage door?" If you have an 8' Door you'll need the extension just as a heads up.
