The 6524 is the battery-backed DC version of the DoorKing 6500. Everything mechanical is shared — the 6500-152 base, 6500-400 hub, 6500-118 shaft support, 6500-430 arm, 2600-719 gearbox, 2600-597 pulley, 6500-047 belt and all four covers are the same parts.
What is unique to the 6524: a 24 VDC motor (2601-197) fed by a 300VA transformer (4001-089), bridge rectifier (1860-073) and 4700 uF capacitor (3500-023), two 12V 7.2 Ah batteries (1801-003) on a DC battery tray (6500-313), the 4100-018 control board and the 6524-005 enclosure cover. The 6500 uses an AC motor and the 4405 board instead.
