The GTO Battery heater is designed to maintain the batteries in the GTO control box at a higher temperature when the system is installed in a cold climate. The heater is easy to install and wire, and controlled by a built in thermostat that activates the heater at temperatures below 40F (4C). One or two heaters can be used depending on the number of batteries installed in the control box.
Power for the heaters is supplied by the incoming 18VAC transformer up to 500 feet from an AC power source. Single battery systems more than 500 feet and dual battery systems more than 300 feet from the AC power source must be powered by a separate transformer. The heaters will not work on solar powered applications.
Compatible with:
- GTO/Linear Pro
- Mighty Mule
- ES1100 and ES1102
- LA400
- Easy to Use: Connects to the side of the battery and connects to the existing transformer in most cases
- Function in Cold Weather: Keeps the batteries warm so their output is not constricted
- GTO/Linear Pro Battery Heater

In addition to offering innovative, industry-renowned products, DIY Gate Openers provides a unique website that helps customers truly visualize their security goals. With the online virtual builder, customers can design a customized home security gate system, complete with different gate materials and styles.
The customization goes further. DIY Gate Openers takes every aspect of gate opener installation into account, including distance to a power supply, distance from the house to the gate, and the number of homes secured by the system. By addressing these factors up front, the right gate opener can be matched to each customer’s needs, without trial and error. Our Discount It Yourself packages also let customers choose exactly what they need, not what someone else thinks they should have. Every gate opener design is truly tailored to the consumer’s specifications.
The website is designed with the customer’s needs first, and the service doesn’t stop there. If a customer finds the same gate opener or accessory at a lower price on an authorized dealer’s website, DIY Gate Openers will not only match it but also refund 10% of the difference. Likewise, if the standard Tech Support hours (9am - 9pm EST) don’t fit a customer’s schedule, they can simply email their planned installation time. DIY Gate Openers will then provide a direct number to reach a representative during that window.
How many other companies adjust their business hours to fit the customer? At DIY Gate Openers, the customer always comes first.
