The Blue Cactus Company Battery Pack for Reclining Furniture - 2500mAh, 2-Pin Connector - LCD Display for Recliner Chair - Portable Power Supply - Cord-Free Floors

Easy to install, easy to check the voltage, works as described. We received it a week ago, I charged it fully and installed it. We have a new recliner and I have been running it back and forth more often than normal. I have charged my iPhone twice on the USB port. The phone was less than 50% and I charged it fully each time. I have also charged my laptop three times through the USB port, and sometimes leave it plugged in while I work on it. When I charge the Ibook it reduces the battery percentage noticeable, however after all that the battery is now at 33%. I have only charged it the one time and plan on letting it drop to 25% before recharging. At this rate that will be a few more days before it reaches 25%. When I don't use the USB it only drops a few percent per day. I believe after I have had this for a while I will be able to get a good 3 or 4 weeks between charges if I don't use the USB port. I may try to update this review to let you know how long It lasts in a few months. I really don't know if it is a value for the money so I gave that a 3 star. I have nothing to compare it to, as this is the first furniture battery I have ever bought. I'm not sure how a more expensive battery could work better, unless it is higher amperage. (which would increase the price) Yes this is a good battery. I would advise you to disregard the one star reviews. You can't go wrong with this.

I was initially a bit leery about this battery pack, but after contacting the manufacturer and having my questions answered I went ahead and ordered it and am glad I did! This pack is for a disabled family member's electric sit/stand recliner. After he was stranded in it several times during abrupt power outages, enough was enough, he needed something that could remain plugged in and act as a source of power during any of the many power outages we experience in our rural location. We didn't want the hassle of plugging/charging/unplugging repeatedly, and this meets our needs. It can remain plugged in, which does not harm the battery, and as soon as the power goes out we know that our family member is not stuck and unable to get out of his chair until we get the home generator going (usually within a few hours if he's home alone in a power outage, within 30 minutes if we're home). All in all, this provides great reassurance and a viable way to prevent the dreaded "help I'm stuck in full recline and the power just went out and I have to get out of the chair to use the bathroom" panic mode our loved one had to endure. So far, we have had 3 power outages, all in the early evening, one of which lasted 6 hours, and he was able to continue using his recliner just fine...when the power came back on after the 6-hour outage the battery pack registered a charge of 98%. This was with him using the lift feature several times and adjusting the foot rise and back support constantly. I highly recommend this pack to be used in any way you wish...either to be charged and then unplugged from the wall and used as the power source until it alerts you to recharge it again, or kept plugged into the wall outlet and attached to the chair so the pack acts as an emergency power source during power outages.

First let me first say, there was an issue with the compatibility of the battery with my furniture's on/off light. It would hold a full charge for about a week but would then drain quickly. Apparently, this is uncommon, and I just had the misfortune of pairing the two items together. However, Blue Cactus's customer service was extremely patient and helpful while I reached out to the furniture manufacturer, and we were eventually able to come up with a satisfactory solution. It was refreshing to work with a company that stood behind their product... so, for that, they get five stars :-) Even though they had offered a full refund, I was determined to make the batteries work because the back of my furniture is visible, and the 90-degree plug is more aesthetically pleasing. The only thing I might change is to make the cord that plugs into the furniture a few inches longer to have more flexibility in placing the battery under the furniture out of view. Other than that, they're well-made and I hope to get many years of use from them.

I seldom leave negative reviews but this product simply doesn't work and there is no customer service available to even request help. Ordered my The Blue Cactus furniture battery after reading several positive reviews on Amazon. Some of the reviews said that the battery did not last, but others advised that if you stuck with it through 3-5 full charge cycles it would then hold the charge. Others pointed out that those who experienced fast draining battery problems probably had lots of things using the battery, such as power headrests, always lighted cup holders or touch pads, USB ports for charging phones, etc. Since my need was to power a Steelcase loveseat that only had the normal reclining back and footrest, and none of the other power drains, I figured the 2500mAh battery should easily handle my loveseat and last a long time. Also, my recliner is in a finished basement and doesn't get used all that much. Received my battery pack 1/27/22, charged it, and it easily plugged into the rear of the recliner. Compliments to the Blue Cactus on its good packaging and clear & simple instruction manual. The battery digital display was clear and showed a 100% charge. I sat on the recliner and and went up and down 5 times to test it, and it worked flawlessly. The next night I went down and used the recliner again, no problem. I went down the 3rd night and nothing. The battery had no charge, but I didn't panic because the reviews pointed out that a few recharge cycles may be needed for it to hold a charge. I recharged the battery to 100%, plugged it into the recliner, and it worked fine. I didn't use the recliner for a few days, but the next time I went down the battery was totally discharged. I recharged it to 100% and set it aside because we were leaving on a 3 week vacation in February. When I got back I checked the battery, and it was totally discharged, but I was still hopeful because I had been gone for 3 weeks. Recharged, replugged, reclined - it worked...for 3 days again before it went totally dead. Thought I would give it one more try, so recharged to 100% the fourth time, plugged it into the recliner, but decided to not even use the recliner but check the battery every 24 hours. Day 2 - 100%. Day 3 - 100%. Day 4 - 0%. Figuring that I had a dud battery (it can happen, I suppose), and knowing that I was out of the 30 day Amazon return window, decided to call The Blue Cactus to see what I should do. That's when I found that if one goes to thebluecactuscompany.com they have one page that is a nice advertisement for their battery pack. And nothing else. No phone number, no email, no mailing address...nothing. Returning to the Amazon page there is a 90 day Product Support option (I've got 1 or 2 days left) that I will try. Oh, it also lists the company's address, which according to Google maps is a residence outside Nashville. Will update if anything good happens when I contact product support. Given the other positive reviews, I assume that they are not "planted" and other folks are having good experiences. So my advice is simply this; if you order the product, charge it and try it out quickly to see if it holds a charge. If not, make sure you return it within the Amazon return policy...don't assume it will begin to work after additional charge cycles. Otherwise you will wind up with a $128 paperweight, like I did. Good luck!

This battery pack is great for my love seat recliner. No cords to deal with or unsightly cords under my area rug. Easy to plug in/out. Only issue is that it needs to be charged about every 3 weeks. I would rather have to charge it often than deal with electrical cords.

Works exactly as it should. I was very skeptical about buying this battery for an electrically operated recliner. We do not have any floor plugs where these are located, (middle of living room), so leaving cords plugged in was a non-starter. When the chairs were delivered, I had already fully charged the batteries, (we have two chairs, so bought two batteries). I put the chairs on their sides and was able to fairly easily remove the 110v cord and adapter which interfaces with the wiring in the chairs themselves. I then mounted the new battery pack in the underside of the chair with the charging unit mounted on the back, under the Velcro-attached back fabric covering it fully. When I want to charge it, I simply lift up the fabric and plug the units into a wall outlet. I have used the chair for 2 full weeks, using it from 2-6 cycles per day, and it currently shows 75% remaining charge. I would imagine I could get away with charging this once a month, although I plan on charging them every other week as depleting the battery fully would likely be ill-advised. Note: We have not used the USB charge port in the chair which I was unable to disconnect unless I really, REALLY wanted to. I have been an electrician for over 40 years and the installation was pretty easy for me; if you are handy with basic tools and can think a bit outside of the box, this should be a fairly simple task to complete. Additionally, the connectors on the unit I purchased were exactly correct for my chair, and included in the package were a couple of extensions and Y-cables which I did not need. I would heed the advice from the seller - you need to ensure you are ordering the unit with the correct connectors for your specific task as they state that incorrect connectors is the primary reason for returned products. My $.02 worth.

This battery works as advertised! No more unsightly extension cord!

Easy to use. However, the battery lasted less than a week, in a chair that is seldom used.
