    Default Q about power recliners

    Hello Duane,

    I would like to know the difference between the following options taking the Monaco as an example

    7160-PR Monaco Power Recliner
    7160-PRB Monaco Power Recliner w/ battery

    I understand that the power recliners allow you to stop at any position and are less prone to wear and tear because of the a smoother action in changing positions. However what does is the difference between

    Power Recliner w/ battery and without ?

    What type of battery is this ?
    What is the avg life of battery ?
    No exploding batteries right ?
    Is one option more maintenance than other?
    What is the cost difference between the 2 options ?
    Does the battery option still let you use a wired outlet if battery is down ?

    Thank you.

    Power recliners are plugged into the wall socket (highly suggest you install a surge protector)

    Battery recliners use a lithium battery and the power pack lays under the recliner. Like any lithium battery, they should last 4 years or so before needing a replacement unit which costs around $ 150. Each charge is good for appx 250 cycles. Battery option is generally $ 150 to $ 175 over the plug in option, depending on the dealer.

    I think you can plug in if battery is exhausted, I don't have one to test at the moment.
