AC vs DC Stairlifts

An AC Powered Stair Lift uses the homes power supply as its source of power and is plugged into a normal electrical outlet. In cases where the home looses its power or the stair lift is unplugged, it will simply stop working. A DC Powered Stair Lift gets its power from one, or in some cases multiple, rechargeable batteries. Most often, you will hear DC Powered Stair Lifts referred to as Battery Powered Stair Lifts.
While both types of stair lifts are plugged into a normal household outlet, the battery powered stair lifts are not powered directly from the homes power. Instead, the homes power charges the batteries, which in turn power the stair lift. If the home were to loose its power, a battery powered stair lift will continue to function, so in the event of an electrical storm or other emergency, the DC Stair Lift can still be used.
The DC Powered Stair Lift offers a number of advantages and much more security than an AC Powered Stair Lift does, because the DC Stair Lift can keep going even if there is a power disruption. However, DC Powered Stair Lifts do cost more than AC Powered Stair Lifts. Also, since the batteries must be replaced once every 12 to 18 months, there is an increased maintenance cost associated with battery powered stair lifts. However, despite the higher cost, many people opt to go with a DC Powered Stair Lift due to the added layer of security they offer.
