Power Furniture Terms
Power Pack
A rechargeable battery designed to power motorized furniture (recliners, lift chairs, power sofas) without a wall outlet connection. Also called a furniture battery or cordless power pack.
Battery Backup
Different from a power pack, a system that provides backup power during electrical outages while normally operating on wall power.
Transformer
A device that converts standard wall power (110V) to the low-voltage power required by furniture motors. Power packs replace the transformer, eliminating the need for wall power.
Motor
The mechanical drive unit that moves reclining furniture components (footrest, backrest, headrest, lumbar support). Furniture may have one or multiple motors.
Motor Lead
The connection point where a power source (transformer or power pack) connects to the furniture’s motor. Different manufacturers use different connector types like 2 Pin DIN, 5 Pin, or the round barrel connector.
Motorized Functions
Refers to the opening or closing of a footrest or raising or lowering of a headrest.
Switch
Buttons or remotes, often integrated with constant drawing features, that control furniture functions.
Constant Drawing Features
Features negatively affecting pack performance as they require power even when not in use (USB ports for charging, LED lit power ports, etc.).
High Consumption Features
Constant drawing features negatively affecting pack performance as they require and consume higher power even when not in use (charging pads, lights, remotes, sound systems, Bluetooth features, etc.).
