Spanish term or phrase: va a corriente
It relates to selling points for an automatic garage door that opens when you arrive home simply by detecting your mobile phone, thus there is no need for a remote control etc. One of the benefits mentioned is "va a corriente, no dejará de funcionar porque se agote la pila". So it's saying that it doesn't require a battery to continue running, so does "va a corriente" simply mean that it "runs on electricity"? That it is connected to the electricity supply of the property, and not reliant on remote control batteries?
