DC stair lifts have a battery located in between your home's outlet and the stair lift's motor. The outlet charges the battery and the battery powers the stair lift's motor. If you lose power to your home, the stair lift will still work. However, the batteries have to be replaced every 18-24 months increasing maintenance costs. DC stair lifts include rack & pinion drive, cable drive, and heavy-duty stair lifts from all manufacturers.

Each stair lift listed is designed for homeowner installation. Installation takes approximately 3 hours.
