When it comes to comfort and convenience, La-Z-Boy power recliners, loveseats, and sofas are designed to deliver effortless relaxation at the touch of a button. Traditionally, power furniture requires a wall outlet, which can limit where pieces are placed and introduce visible cords or tripping hazards.
That is where the La-Z-Boy Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack comes in. This optional upgrade lets your power furniture operate without being plugged into a wall, giving you more freedom to design and arrange your space.
“Whether you want to place a recliner in the center of an open-concept living room or simply avoid running cords across the floor, this cordless option gives homeowners far more flexibility,” explains Marianne Kola, a sales consultant at La-Z-Boy Gatineau.
Below, we break down how La-Z-Boy rechargeable battery packs work, what they cost, how long they last, and whether they are the right upgrade for your home.

The La-Z-Boy Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack is an accessory that powers La-Z-Boy reclining furniture without a constant electrical outlet connection.
Instead of drawing power directly from the wall, the battery stores energy and supplies it to the reclining mechanism only when needed. This allows your power recliner, sofa, or sectional to function normally while remaining completely cordless.
According to Marianne, “The experience feels the same as a plugged-in power recliner. The only difference is the freedom it gives you when placing furniture in your home.”
These battery packs are compatible with all La-Z-Boy power furniture except power lift recliners, which require a continuous power source for safety reasons.
The La-Z-Boy Rechargeable Battery Pack is available as an upgrade for $300.
All pricing listed is subject to change and is updated regularly. This article was last reviewed on February 12, 2025. For the most accurate pricing, it is always best to contact your local La-Z-Boy showroom in Ottawa, Gatineau, or Kingston directly.
While the battery pack is an additional investment, many customers find the flexibility and cleaner room layout well worth the cost.

One of the biggest advantages of a La-Z-Boy rechargeable battery pack is the freedom it gives you when arranging your space. Because your power recliner, loveseat, or sofa no longer needs to sit near a wall outlet, you can place it exactly where it works best for your layout.
This is especially helpful in open-concept living rooms, where floating furniture often creates a better flow and more intentional seating areas. It also allows homeowners to position furniture near windows or in the center of a room without worrying about access to electricity.
Visible cords can quickly take away from a thoughtfully designed room. With a cordless power furniture solution, you eliminate the need to hide wires along baseboards or under rugs. This results in a more streamlined, visually cohesive space, particularly important in modern, minimalist, or contemporary interiors.
For homeowners who value aesthetics just as much as comfort, the battery pack helps maintain a clean look without sacrificing functionality.
A rechargeable battery pack makes it much easier to rearrange your furniture whenever your needs change. Whether you like refreshing your layout seasonally or need to adjust your space for entertaining, you are no longer restricted by outlet locations.
This flexibility is ideal for growing families, evolving room layouts, or anyone who enjoys experimenting with different furniture arrangements without the hassle of unplugging and rerouting cords.

Standard La-Z-Boy power furniture cords are typically 5 to 6 feet long, which can limit placement options and sometimes require the use of extension cords. Extension cords not only add clutter but can also pose safety concerns.
A battery pack eliminates this issue entirely, reducing tripping hazards while ensuring your furniture operates smoothly wherever it is placed. This makes it a practical upgrade for both safety and convenience.
Installation is quick and straightforward. Locate the power box at the base of your furniture, unplug the standard power cord, and connect the fully charged battery pack. Place the battery behind the furniture in a safe, ventilated area where it will not interfere with movement.
Once connected, test the reclining function to ensure everything operates smoothly.
When the low-battery alert sounds, unplug the battery from the furniture and connect it to the included charger. Plug the charger into a wall outlet and monitor the LED indicator until the light turns green.
After charging, reconnect the battery to your furniture and resume normal use.
A fully charged La-Z-Boy rechargeable battery pack typically provides over a week of power, assuming average use of about ten reclining cycles per day. Actual battery life can vary depending on how frequently the recliner is used, the range of motion during each cycle, and whether additional features, such as USB charging ports, are used.
If left unused, the battery retains approximately 20 percent of its charge after four months, at which point recharging is recommended before use.
Charging the battery overnight ensures consistent power, much like charging a smartphone. Some customers also choose to purchase a second battery pack so one is always charged and ready to swap in if needed.
“As long as customers follow basic charging habits, battery performance remains very reliable,” Marianne notes.
And there you have it! You now know everything you need to know about La-Z-Boy Rechargeable Battery Packs.
If the rechargeable battery pack is for you, what are you waiting for? Why not start experiencing enhanced reclining relaxation today?
Before you make your final decision, it is important to perform a final sit test to ensure that your chosen recliner fits your unique body shape.
