How to Replace Batteries in Your Motorized Smart Shades

This quick guide walks you through replacing the batteries in your motorized smart blinds. With only a ladder and 8 AA batteries, you can bring your blinds back to life in just a few minutes. The battery tube is easy to access and secured with Velcro inside the shade housing. Follow this step-by-step breakdown to complete the job safely and easily.

Battery Replacement Steps

1. Use a ladder to reach the battery tube mounted behind the top rail of the blinds.
2. The tube is held in place with Velcro straps. Detach it carefully.
3. Unscrew the battery tube from the wire connector.
4. Remove the old AA batteries and replace them with 8 fresh AA batteries.
5. Screw the tube back onto the wire connector tightly.
6. Reattach the tube using the Velcro straps to secure it in place.
7. Test the blinds to ensure they move up and down properly.

In this video, the right-side motor stopped working due to dead batteries. After replacing the batteries, both blinds operated normally. Generic batteries lasted around 11 months in this case. Higher-quality batteries may last longer.

No tools are required, and the entire process takes less than 10 minutes. Just make sure the Velcro is secure when reinstalling the tube.
