The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
Does an Acorn Stairlift Need a Power Outlet?
Yes!
All that is needed for power is an accessible, nearby socket, and you’re ready for lift off.
Acorn stairlifts are mounted directly to the stairs, rather than the wall, ensuring that the structure and style of your home will never have to be sacrificed with tedious drilling or plastering work.
In fact, Acorn stairlifts are able to fit flawlessly to 99 percent of all staircases.
That’s right—You read that correctly; So, it’s extremely likely that an Acorn stairlift will fit on yours too!
Acorn stairlifts always allow you to enjoy full access to the home you love, leaving it just the way you like it.
Will I Get Stuck on My Stairs in the Event of a Power Outage?
Don’t worry—Although Acorn stairlifts do require a nearby outlet as the main source of power, they are battery-operated and will continue to work in the event of a power failure.
In fact, Acorn pioneered the revolutionary use of DC power supplies (batteries) in stairlifts.
When designing the original Acorn 130 Stairlift, its practical features were chosen because of the inherent safety benefits and ability to operate normally during a power failure.
All Acorn Stairlifts competitors have, of course, followed suit and are now also offering a battery-powered product.
The advantages of this technology end your darkest nightmares of being stuck on the stairs!
All About Acorn’s Reliable Backup Battery
Early stairlifts drew power directly from the main source, but Acorn pioneered the use of powerful rechargeable batteries located in the stairlift carriage. They are automatically recharged whenever your stairlift is ‘parked’ at the top or bottom of the stairs.
This means our stairlifts will still operate, even if there’s a power cut or if a safety ‘trip switch’ is activated in your fuse box.
Because the power comes from the batteries and not the main supply, your Acorn stairlift will keep running, and you’ll never be stranded on the stairs. These batteries make our stairlifts very economical to run, only drawing main power to ‘top up’ the batteries as needed.
