When they’re on standby electric gates will on average consume around 100watts of electricity a day. If the gates are active, they can use up to around 700w. The amount of time they are running is limited. An average gate opening and the closing cycle will only last 20 seconds in each direction.
How long does a gate motor battery last?
between two to three years
Well-maintained gate motor batteries should last between two to three years. One of the first signs that the battery isn’t running at its optimal level is when the gate starts to run slowly (while using battery power). Another sign is when the gate doesn’t completely open or close and gets stuck on the rails.
