It is recommended to use rechargeable lithium batteries as they perform better when consistently exposed to the sun when compared to traditional batteries. The internal battery life will depend on the weight of the blinds, the size of the window, and how often they are used, but on average will likely be changed four times a year. There are a few different types of motorized blinds that could have batteries to control the motorized device itself, for the remote control, or a combination of the two. We often get the question here at Rose Sun Window Coverings as to when you may need to replace your blinds, or how often one might need to replace the batteries. However, there are others that do not have this option available, and will, unfortunately, remain stuck open or closed until the power problem is resolved. While all have motorized functionality, some models can be operated manually in the case of a power outage, or if the batteries in the remote control have run dry.

It can be very tempting to opt into the luxury of motorized window blinds and screens.
