Can I get a back up battery with this electromagnetic lock?

I wired the transformer power source that came with it to a standard UPS from best buy, the type you use for computer power back up. Worked great

the lock uses very little power, I would assume a 12v battery would work fine, I think creating a circuit similar to an emergency light would work without issues

Yes you can! check the brand you have and how many amps you need, when you know the amps you can buy in Amazon!This battery is good only for a short time depend the amps you buy.

Yes plug the apc into the outlet and your transformers for the mag lock into the apc.

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

I have that one and it does have it. I don't think they can make a safe with out a backup key. The battery can run out. In the front panel at the bottom of the number pad there is a small cover with 2 screws. The key access is hidden behind that. Not very obvious and for good reason I would think !

There seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

As far as I know battery power is needed to unlock. So may want to change he battery periodically, say once a year, not when it fails ( or you may still carry a real key). I haven't replaced the battery yet. We love this lock. Also, you should be ale to locate the manual online.

Yes. 4 screws on the back allow access to the battery compartment. I replaced the battery on our unit. You can get a replacement on line, or go to a store that specializes in batteries for electronic gear. I would take the old one to be sure you get the proper replacement. Size, voltage and connections are all critical.

however you have to have a battery backup compatible opener for the battery to work.....

No idea. We haven't had a fire so I couldn't tell you. If it got so bad that it melts the electronics, I would assume you could get a new one sent from Sentry, hook back up and use whatever new code that came with the lock.

It comes with a key also. One of mine is about five years old and still on first battery. I should probably change it.

I don't think this is the lock I'd use for that. The (normally) interior piece has a plastic housing at the top that covers the battery and it doesn't seem weather proof. If you decide to try it, be sure and call the manufacturer for confirmation first.

Hi Every lock comes with a tool that allows you to open a trap door. Then you can remove the alarm assembly and change the battery. Thanks

I have had four of these that were Harbour Freight Branded. This is typical, they only last a few years. I think you can replace the battery with a motorcycle battery, just figure out how to secure in the case.

must have a 9 volt battery..you can lock it where they can't come in... Johnny

I did not see where batteries could be used as a backup, however you might want to call Voice Alert 6 directly to reconfirm and double check.

There is an external battery pack that can be plugged into the lock when the internal battery is low or dead.

hello i didn't use that item, because it won't accept back up batteries, i still have it. probably it will replace the other one since it is same brand
