The battery in a SW470 gate operator is located in the control box. The control box is typically mounted on a post near the gate. To access the battery, you will need to remove the cover of the control box.

Here are the steps on how to locate the battery in your SW470 gate operator:

Locate the control box for your gate operator. This is typically a metal box mounted on a post near the gate.

Open the control box by removing the screws that secure the cover.

Inside the control box, you will see the battery. It is typically a large, black battery with two terminals.

To remove the battery, disconnect the two terminals from the battery.

Be careful when handling the battery, as it can be heavy and may contain acid.

Once you have removed the battery, you can replace it with a new one. Be sure to purchase a battery that is the same type and size as the original battery.

Here are some additional tips for replacing the battery in your SW470 gate operator:

Make sure that the gate is in the closed position before you start replacing the battery.

Disconnect the power supply to the gate operator before you start replacing the battery.

Be careful when handling the battery, as it can be heavy and may contain acid.

Dispose of the old battery properly.

If you have any difficulty replacing the battery, please contact your gate operator manufacturer for assistance.
