My wife has a lift chair. Can I use this when the power goes out for her to be able to get in and out of her chair. null

Since the lift chair typically uses a 110v source, then yes this unit is actually a brilliant use for that. I used to deliver and install them for patients so I understand the concern and the necessity.

The short answer is it really depends on the amount of power the chair draws from a battery backup (UPS). What I would suggest is to do a dry run. Let the unit fully charge first. Unplug the UPS and fully raise and lower the chair  Check the remain battery level. That will give you a very clear idea of how the unit will perform in an emergency.  I REALLY hope it works as perfectly for you as i believe it should!

It depends on the chairs power requirement. Since I don't know what it is, you would have to check and compare.

Thank you for your interest in our products. Generally our UPSs are designed to have equipment connected to it like PC equipment or your router and modem. You would need to make sure the chair does not pull more than 900 watts of power. Anything over that would overload the UPS.
