When the battery fails, just take it down to batteries plus & match it up. They're like $12, instead of $40 from the opener manufacturer.

I got around to putting in my new Craftsman with Assurelink today. It is soooo quiet compared to my old screw drive. All you hear is the motor hum and the wheels moving on the door. And the phone app for checking and closing/opening the door is the cat's pajamas! Thanks for the tip.

Belt is the absolute quietest door you're going to get. I've had all 3 types and will never own anything else.
