Prices for a 33V 1A psu as used by stairlifts to charge the battery.

Typical Amazon price: £18
Farnell: £26
Medical grade item: £76
Quoted by a stairlift supplier when a replacement was needed: £181. Item
is tiny and in a plastic case, and appears to be poor quality.

Price for a carbon brush, ditto: £25.

You have to count your fingers before and after every encounter with
disability equipment suppliers. They sell some useful stuff not
available anywhere else and a lot of overpriced tat to the unwary who
don't know where else to buy it. Replacement wheelchair/stairlift
batteries and chargers being some of the most spectacular ripoffs.
