1. A battery backup apparatus for use with a barrier movement operator;
- comprising;
a battery having first and second terminals first and second backup ports for receiving an input DC voltage from the barrier movement operator therebetween during normal operations by the barrier movement operator;
a conduction path connecting the second back up port to the second battery terminal;
a battery charging circuit connecting the first input port to the first battery terminal for charging the battery when the input DC voltage exceeds a predetermined voltage; and
a unidirectional isolation device connecting the first battery terminal to the first backup port.

Abstract
A barrier movement operator with a backup source of DC power is disclosed. The power supply of the barrier movement operator sends current limited DC to the backup which uses the DC to charge a battery. The battery is in circuit at all times with the barrier movement operator power supply by means of a power diode and, when an AC mains power failure occurs, DC power is sent from the battery to power the barrier movement operator.
