Probably not a good idea to run only on the battery. Some Power Lift Recliners have battery backups to allow you to get the chair out of the reclined position if the power goes out. If that were you intention then a UPS would work but, you would want to be sure it is the right size. It would be interesting to hear how many cycles you could get before the battery is depleted. You are going to be using a lot of power since chair like has a DC motor so, you will be converting DC to AC (UPS) and then back AC to DC (recliner).

There are 2 outlets that provide surge protection only, rather than back-up & surge protection. Just choose which you prefer. Just be mindful that there is a limit to the back-up battery capacity if you choose to use a back-up outlet and use your electric recliner during a power outage when you are also running say a computer or TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check the power use on your specific unit versus that provided by this UPS, but keep in mind that these units are NOT meant for constant use, and will become useless every time you deplete the charge until you recharge. Also, as noted by Jtrev, this type of unit usually emits an alarm when in use, low in battery power, or not plugged in, making it the worst thing you could own to relax with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The power draw has to match but also note that you will have to turn off the alarm. A small backup even if it works might require frequent recharging. You might want a cable management strip for offices. It’s not attractive but safer if the cord fails. This way it’s plugged in. Having a power supply with surge protection should prevent damage to your chair during brown outs.
