Yes! Use a proper surge protector to safeguard your electrical system on your recliner or lift chair. Lightning strikes and power surges can damage electrical parts.
Your UltraComfort power lift chair comes with a battery backup system so the chair can return to the seated position in the event of a household power failure. The batteries have enough energy to bring the chair to a seated position from the recline position. The batteries do not have enough energy nor are they intended to operate the chair for a prolonged period of time and should not be used in place of standard household voltage (120 volt, 60 Hz). Batteries should be replaced after one use. Replace the batteries yearly, regardless of use or not.
