Possible Causes

Aged backup battery, Loose battery connections, Charger circuit failure, Frequent power outages draining battery

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the opener before accessing the battery compartment.

Inspect and replace battery:

  • Open the battery compartment on the Decko opener (if equipped).
  • Check for corrosion on terminals and clean if necessary.
  • Note the battery type (often 12V sealed lead-acid) and date code. Replace if older than 3–5 years or if visibly swollen.

Reconnect and test:

  • Install the new battery, ensuring correct polarity.
  • Restore power and observe if beeping stops after a short charging period.

If beeping continues with a new battery, the charger circuit on the control board may be faulty.
