Rechargeable Battery Wand: The Latest Innovation

Whether it’s big or small, Hunter Douglas never disappoints us with their innovations. Window treatments are no longer designed to simply open and close. Instead, they’re customized to fit each homeowner’s specific needs and style. And, because we like to stay on the cutting-edge of innovation, today, we’re introducing you to the latest progress in smart shades: a rechargeable battery wand. Let us tell you why we’re so excited about this upgrade. Take a look!

What’s to Love?

It’s 2020, and being eco-friendly and sustainable has become a top priority for many people. The new rechargeable battery wand makes it easy to help the environment all while saving money. You no longer have to purchase new batteries for your shades, just recharge them and you’re set for another year.

Get the Facts.

Our new rechargeable battery wand is sleek & slim, measuring 13 x 1.25 x1 inches, making it easy to hide. To charge the wand, simply remove it from the mount and plug it into the charger.

Meet the Charging Station.

There are two options for charging stations: single and double. The single station will charge one wand in about 2 hours. The double will charge two in 3 hours. Each charge lasts approximately 500 adjustments, or typically a year of use. If you have multiple smart shades in your home, the double charging station is our preferred option.

What Are the Favorite Features?

There are two specific reasons we are so excited about this brand new rechargeable battery wand. First, when your battery level is low, you’ll get a notification through your PowerView app or via e-mail. No more guessing when you’ll have to charge the batteries. Second, there’s a shutoff feature. If the wand gets too hot, it will automatically shut off, keeping your home safe.
