It is usually installed in the lower corner of the recliner chair back. When the power goes out, you can easily activate the backup battery, close the opened footrest and backrest, making it very easy to get up from the chair during power outage, especially for those who are disabled.

A good battery backup for power theater recliners starts from US$50. Some better cost more. It depends on the purpose you choose it.
If you use it only during power outage, a basic version backup battery is enough.
But if you use it everyday, or if your recliner chair is with too many functions, you need a better battery, which will cost more.
