DC Power Vs. AC Power

Stairlifts have been part of our lives for many years. This has resulted in them going through many necessary changes and updates in order to improve the quality of the product. One of these improvements was the introduction of the use of DC power rather than AC power. Direct current (DC) power enables the stairlifts to work using battery power packs rather than cables. Ultimately, DC power makes stairlifts safer and smoother to use, as well as all of the advantages listed below:

• Improves ride performance
• Ensures smoother starting and stopping of the stairlift
• Ensures the stairlift is maintenance free
• Saves money as the battery packs are inexpensive to replace
• Ensures the stairlift still works during a power cut which further means that you aren’t stranded half way up or down the stairs
