[QUOTE="KMX1, post: 1013565, member: 15945"] I have two Eazylift Roller Type Garage Door motors. They use a 24v backup battery each that costs around R500 per battery. I have a spare 1000VA Mecer UPS that I can use to power both motors to use it occasionally during a power failure. I tested the powerdraw with my Watt Meter and both motors together use about 9W in standby mode and 75W to lower / 100W to lift a door. There is no noticeable spike when the motor starts to roll. I have only one question - Is this a good or bad idea? [/QUOTE]
