A Guide to Stairlift Batteries
Stairlifts have become an essential mobility aid for those who experience difficulty climbing stairs. As a trusted provider of mobility aids, Ideas in Action is committed to helping you understand and maintain your stairlift for optimal performance. In this article, we’ll discuss stairlift batteries and address important topics such as charging times, power cuts, troubleshooting and replacement.
How Long Does It Take to Charge a Stairlift Battery?
The time it takes to charge a stairlift battery can vary depending on the make and model. For Handicare stairlifts, a full charge can be achieved within a few hours, ensuring that your stairlift is always ready for use.
Will Stairlift Batteries Still Work in a Power Cut?
Stairlifts are designed with user safety in mind. In the event of a power cut, Handicare stairlifts will continue to operate on battery power, allowing you to complete your journey safely. The battery life during a power outage can vary, but most stairlifts can manage several trips before requiring a recharge.
Troubleshooting Stairlift Battery Issues
If you encounter problems with your stairlift battery, consider the following steps:
- Check the charging points
Ensure that the stairlift is properly parked at the charging point and that there is no debris or obstruction.
- Inspect the power supply
Verify that the power supply is working and the stairlift is receiving power.
- Look for error codes
Some stairlift models may display error codes related to battery issues. View our Handicare stairlift fault codes page or consult your user manual or contact a professional for assistance.
