Needs to be Charged about twice a year depending on usage. Production will charge the shade before sending, and install the magnetic tip. It takes about 6 hours to fully charge.
How long do you charge motorised blinds? For a full charge, you should charge your blinds' battery for 6 hours. Some models may beep once fully charged, but it's a good idea to set a timer just to be sure.
Your shades should not be making regular noise other than the sound of the motor opening and closing the shade. If the window treatment beeps during operation this is an indication that the shade needs to be charged. If the motor is making a noise other than that we recommend giving us a call at 800-800-3329.
A motorized shade's batter life span can last anywhere from a few months to one year, while the life span for the remote control has general longevity of up to five years. With that being said, various factors can affect the battery life of motorized shades.
Most battery backup systems will emit a series of beeps to indicate a problem. The most common type of beep is a single, continuous beep, which usually indicates that the battery backup is running on battery power and that the battery may be running low.

Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the Program Button, located on the motor head for 12 seconds. All transmitters and limits are now erased and will have to be reset.
In terms of remote control lifespan, they last for approximately five years on average when the blinds are used twice a day, decreasing with extra use and with traditional alkaline batteries.
Window coverings can help with this loss of energy by providing comfort, regulating temperatures, and lowering energy bills. The exact savings will depend on the type of attachment, the season, the climate, and how the attachment is used.
Hunter Douglas window treatments are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The cost of energy-efficient materials and technology may be higher, but it pays off in the long run. Energy-efficient window treatments are made of higher-quality materials, which makes them more expensive than less energy-efficient options.
Ensure the blinds are plugged in or the power source is functioning correctly. Sometimes, a loose plug or power interruption can cause the blinds to stop working. Verify that the remote is working. If it isn't, try replacing the batteries or using a different remote to rule out any control issues.
So what's the average lifespan of blinds? Blinds, like shades, need to be replaced every few years. Often, you'll see signs of wear and tear on your window treatments that are a good indication they need to be replaced. We recommend replacing them every 6-8 years to ensure proper safety and ease of use.
An electric blinds motor can be powered either by your household mains supply or by D-cell batteries. Battery powered blinds are completely wireless, and the batteries simply slide inside a battery tray that sits neatly behind the blind fascia, or within the blind shaft itself.
In most cases, you're charging the battery every six months. This will depend on how often you use your blinds. If you use them like the average person where they open and close fully once or maybe twice a day depending on the light placement and privacy needs, then you'll get the six months out of the battery.
Aid in Better Sleep
This is especially important for light-sensitive sleepers or those living in well-lit areas. Closing your blinds ensures that your bedroom remains a sleep-friendly sanctuary, promoting healthier, more restorative rest.
Contact between moving surfaces causes wear. Wear is affected by dirt, moisture, and corrosive fumes and is greatly accelerated when lubricant is misapplied, becomes overheated or contaminated, or is not replaced at regular intervals.
Most motorised blinds have an indicator light near the charging port. This light may change colour or blink to signal charging status (e.g., red while charging, green when fully charged).
We can manufacture and ship most blinds and shades within 3 business days but specialty items such as shutters, draperies and arches take longer to produce.
Common reasons include dead batteries, signal interference, and physical obstructions. Ensure the batteries are fresh, there are no other electronic devices causing interference, and there's nothing blocking the blinds' movement.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the multimeter to the positive (+) terminal of the power bank and the negative (-) lead to the negative (-) terminal. Read the voltage displayed on the multimeter. A fully charged power bank should display a voltage between 4.2V and 4.4V.
The CHARGE light may flash for the following reasons: The environmental temperature is too cold to charge the battery pack. The battery pack has not been used for a long time. There is a poor connection between the battery and charger.
Bad Battery Detection Alert – If a bad battery is detected a red 'x' will illuminate; repetitive audible beep upon detection.
