Thank you for such a clear, concise and beautifully presented video.
does chair need to be reprogrammed when old batteries are removed and new ones installed?? Or is it simply "plug and play"?
For the straight stairlifts, it is plug and play.
How about the curved ones?
We do not service curved Acorn stairlifts, so I can't be certain.
Bought Mighty Max brand replacement batteries twice now. They are a perfect fit, last ones were the standard 12v 7ah ones like original. This time I installed 12v 9ah ones. They are exact same size but have an extra plate to deliver more current and run longer if you lose power. I read several reviews first and they work fine, the acorn 130 stair lift charger has zero problems charging them. If you decide to upgrade to 9ah you will need to buy terminal adapters to go from 1/4" F2 Terminal size on 9ah down to 3/16" F1 terminal size on the 7ah. Adapter is F2 female to F1 male. I bought Mighty Max batteries on Amazon, and got the adapters from Battery source. You can get batteries at your local battery store as well as adapters. You pay about $10-20 more for the batteries locally. - Leonard Manchester, Georgia
Can you tell me the OEM brand of the batteries
There is no single answer to this question. I've several brands of batteries from original installations, nothing consistent.
@@mobilitystairlifts4678 Have you had one brand that last longer than another? My experiences with using them with alarm systems has been some last longer than others.
Will this video work for the ACORN Supreglide 130 T700? When this is installed and you then want to change the batteries, can you get access to the side facing the wall? For example lets say the chair looking up the stairs is on the left side going up and this would then be on the right side going down. Can you get access to the screws on the side of the wall? thanks
This process will work with Acorn 120, 130 and 130 T-700 models. On the 130 T-700 the jumper cable between the batteries looks different, but same process will work. For the screws on the side near wall. Depending on how tight it is to the wall you may need to try these options 1) use a stubby screw driver, 2) use a right angle adapter in a drill, or 3) use a Philips head bit in a pair of vice grips. Ultimately, if it is too tight to access the screws, you may need to remove from the rail to change the batteries.
Thanks .. great help. Disassembly went verysmoothly
Thank you for the feedback.
I'm cleaning up an older Acorn 120 and a couple of the nylon rollers in the bottom of the chair unit seem a little stiff like they need lubricated. They don't seem worn out or sloppy, just roll a little stiff. They are not rolling freely. I'm considering putting the chair on its side then putting a drop of oil so it can get down around the shaft. I'm just not sure what kind of lubricant to use. I don't want to put something that will "eat" the nylon roller. Anyone have any ideas on what type of lubricant to use?
We have had good luck with WD-40 for this application. Using the spray straw application works well and doesn't seem to cause any long-term damage.
@@mobilitystairlifts4678 Thank you...

@@mobilitystairlifts4678 Is this the battery that came with the chair or a replacement?
@@mobilitystairlifts4678 is this the OEM battery? Are you finding the life of the batteries the same as the OEM batteries? I want to buy a known good set of batteries.
Hi, great to see how to remove a stairlift. I would love to see how to put an acorn stairlift back on to its rail. I need to replace the top of rail sensor, since the stairlift isnt stopping at the top. Changing the sensor looks straightforward, but i would like to be sure i can put the chair back on the rail successfully.
Thanks for the video suggestion. We have added that to the list of new videos we want to make. In the meantime, when you put the unit back on the rail make sure you keep it aligned with the rail, both up/down and right/left. Once the rollers are on the rail it should slide right on.
