A powered recliner is only as reliable as the power point it is plugged into. This battery backup keeps a Configura Comfort recliner working through a blackout or an accidentally pulled plug, so a client who cannot rise from a reclined chair without the motor is not stranded in it.
For anyone in a rural part of Tasmania where outages are part of winter, or for a client whose chair sits away from a reliable outlet, it is a small piece of risk management. Carers get the same reassurance: the chair still comes up to a transfer position when the power is out.
It fits as an accessory to the chair and needs a full charge before its first use.
