<div>A client who took too long to heed my advice to buy replacement lithium batteries (and also only bought one, not two) had the bad luck to listen to an actual Acorn company engineer to use an electric drill to move a dead pre-2018 Acorn 180 curved stairlift to the bottom charge pads, whilst realizing that reprogramming the Datum would be necessary, after a DIY battery replacement. So, two bad advice were implemented, resulting in fatal error codes. I repaired this 180 without replacing any parts. This client also forgot my warning about installing replacement batteries by himself. However, this client correctly named himself as the culpable party — rare, these days, unless uhunbacked clients. That engineer is no longer working at Acorn.</div>
Fyi, I provide Acorn 180 (on six variants, so far) Programming Anywhere in the World by Zoom
