Great Idea Bobbie. I've often suggest a UPS device sold at office supply stores as normally purchased to protect computers. They would be great for beds, charging a chair or for those with Lift Recliner Chairs. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/9/2013 2:49:02 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi All, Remember when Hurricane Sandy hit and we were all talking about a back-up system to power our beds if the power goes out? Well, I thought of a solution … sump pump back-up battery! My brother is an electrician and he said these back-up battery systems would be perfectly safe for in the bedroom. The way they would work is you plug in the back-up battery directly into a wall outlet, then plug your bed into the back-up battery. The entire time the battery is plugged in it is being charged. Then you plug in your bed directly into the back-up battery system. You can have a light or TV plugged in as well, but the more you drain from the system the shortest it would last. As soon as a power outage would happen the sump pump back-up battery would automatically switch on … you wouldn't even need to be home. The sump pump back-up battery cost anywhere from $150-$800 depending on how may Amps you want to have … the higher the cost the longer you'd have back-up power. They can be bought at a Battery Plus store or Home Depo type stores, if they don't have them in stock you can have the store order it. You can also order them on line just Google sump pump back-u battery. Bobbie
