Keep 2007-era garage door opener?

Apparently what trigged the law were people who were trapped while trying to exit the house during a wildfire (assuming with the car) but were physically unable to lift the door.

But given that a battery lasts 1-2 years I don't see that situation improving much.

I cant believe I am reading this... but then again, it's California. *LOL*
Battery backup? Crazy but whatever. No battery back up here in the land of the free, NC and SC. Pull cord on the door releases the door from the automatic opener and you lift the door up.

Here are the details on the Chamberlain site:

Only in California can garage door openers cause cancer.
