The Genie GBWM-P Battery Back Up (part number 41152R.S) is a genuine OEM accessory designed for Genie wall-mount jackshaft garage door openers. This wall-mounted backup module supplies emergency DC power to your opener during an AC power outage, allowing limited open/close operation until utility service is restored. Intended for residential use, it integrates with the opener’s control system and recharges automatically whenever AC power is available, so the backup is maintained and ready when needed.
Engineered specifically for Genie Wall Mount Series openers, including select 6170/6172 models, this replacement/upgrade battery backup is not universal and is not cross-compatible with non-wall-mount or other-brand operators. For a correct match, verify your opener model and the Genie part number 41152R.S before ordering. Installation involves mounting the unit on a nearby wall and connecting it to the opener’s dedicated battery-backup port in accordance with the product and opener manuals; after installation, perform a functional test using the opener controls. Use only in dry, indoor garage environments. Actual operation time and the number of cycles available on battery power depend on door balance, door weight, temperature, and battery condition. For safety and reliable performance, ensure the garage door is properly balanced and test the safety reversal system after installation and periodically thereafter.
