Gate Motor Battery Prices in Kenya
Most gate motors run from — or back up onto — a 12 V battery. When the gate becomes slow, beeps, or stops in a power cut, the battery is the first suspect. Here are the batteries and charging options we stock.
Batteries we stock
The standard gate motor battery is 12 V 7 Ah (sealed lead-acid). Some motors take two. Larger backup batteries keep a gate running through long outages, and a small solar panel can trickle-charge where mains power is unreliable.
