LiftMaster and Craftsman are both Chamberlain sub-brands. Though, battery backup openers aren't that great. They're fine if your power is out for a few hours, but if it's out for more than 16-20 hours you're gonna get getting out of the car. @Aaron, it probably is the same unit.

Only works a few times if the power stays out, but helps for that time you run out and forgot to get the house keys. I have also used a spare UPS from the server room.

Consider also, though, that I live in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes cut out power routinely so this is something that happens often. It's a great product though. Always get positive reviews back on it from my customers. ~Kevin This is a surprisingly well selling model considering it is the most expensive one we carry.
