<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered if electric standing desks need to be plugged in while you are using them? We have researched the different types of electric standing desks on the market. So, we wrote this post to offer a comprehensive answer to the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do electric standing desks need to be plugged in? Most motorized or electric standing desks must be plugged in to operate the height-adjustment feature. However, you do not need to leave the electric standing desk plugged after you have adjusted the height. The height stays the same when you unplug the desk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that an electric standing desk will maintain its current height when you unplug it. But you must plug it in if you want to change the height. You may, however, be wondering, what happens to the preset heights when you unplug the desk? Do some electric desks use rechargeable batteries? Do they use a lot of energy when you leave them plugged in? Read on to find answers to these questions and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I Leave My Electric Desk Plugged In?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You may leave your electric desk plugged in, but you do not have to. You only have to plug the desk in when you want to adjust its height. What\u2019s more, you may need to leave your electric desk plugged in if you have preset some height levels<\/a> on it. When you unplug the desk, the memory of your preset height levels may be lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will My Standing Desk Collapse If There Is Power Outage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your standing desk will not collapse if there is a power outage. But you will not be able to raise or lower your desk. However, the saved height level may wipe off your desk\u2019s memory if there is no power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electric motor and memory feature are the only parts of electric standing desks that need electric power. That means you will not be able to adjust its height until power is restored. It also means you will have to re-calibrate preset heights when power is restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Energy Do Electrical Standing Desks Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are adjusting the desk\u2019s height, its motors may use as much as 200 watts. But on standby, electric desks use just about 0.2 watts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need not worry about electric standing desks<\/a> if you are energy conscious. You can leave your desk plugged in without worrying that it will cause an outrageous increase in your energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your computer uses about 60-250 watts on standby, and you often leave it plugged in. Why then should you unplug a device that uses only 0.2 watts on standby? The electric standing desk uses much less electricity than several other devices you use in your office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Electric Standing Desks Use Batteries When Unplugged?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A few electric standing desk models have rechargeable batteries. You can adjust the heights of these desks without plugging them into an electric power source if you have charged the batteries. However, the batteries are usually not as powerful as direct electric power. So, the motor may not work as fast or raise heavyweights when you power them with batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typical electrical standing desk must be plugged in to lower or raise its height. That means the desk must be close to an electric outlet. However, height-adjustable desks with rechargeable batteries don\u2019t need to be close to any outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These types of electric desks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • All for more mobility<\/li>
  • Can be in the middle of your office, far away from any electric outlet<\/li>
  • Can work even when there is a power outage<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    However, their weight capacity is a bit limited and they work more slowly. What\u2019s more, they often require you to charge them regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
