It is recommended to replace the battery in your Chamberlain garage door opener every 2-3 years, or sooner if you experience any issues with the operation of the opener.
If you are replacing the battery due to a low battery warning on the remote control, it is still important to replace the battery in the opener unit as well.
If you are having difficulty replacing the battery or the garage door opener is still not functioning properly, refer to the manufacturer's instructions or contact a qualified electrician.
