The "New" have arrived! by KimB

Our new Bodie Power Rocker Recliners have arrived and we've been giving them a good workout.

We bought the rechargeable batteries, 1 for each chair.  The batteries are about the size of a 1lb block of butter. The charge lasts about 2 weeks and it takes 4-5 hours to recharge. The battery has a cord that you plug into wall outlet so you can use the chair while it's recharging. The batteries have a LED light that changes to green when the battery is fully charged.

The batteries also make a "beep" when they get low on power so you know to plug them in.

The first time though, I thought it was a smoke detector low battery warning beep! We were running around the house trying to spot the failing smoke detector. We couldn't figure out why the smoke detector was going off as we had recently changed all the batteries.  We figured it might be a bad battery, so we ran around looking and listening. When we couldn't find which one was failing, we went to sit in our new chairs and the "smoke detector" went off every time we sat down.

Pretty soon, we figured out: It's coming from the CHAIRS! Allen and I, both had a great laugh about it.
