Rechargeable Battery Wands
Say goodbye to disposable batteries and upgrade to a cleaner, smarter solution. At Advance, we offer the Hunter Douglas Rechargeable Battery Wand, a sleek lithium-ion power system designed to run your automated window treatments with ease.
Built for Motorization
The Rechargeable Battery Wand is made for modern convenience. Whether your shades use PowerView Automation or SoftTouch Motorization, this battery system keeps things running smoothly without the hassle of constant replacements.
Smarter Power for Your Shades
If your shades are still running on traditional AA batteries, it might be time for an upgrade. The Rechargeable Battery Wand is a smarter, more efficient solution that eliminates the need to constantly buy and replace batteries.
Most battery-powered blinds use 12 AA batteries, which can cost around $20 every time they need replacing. Over the years, that adds up—not just in money, but in waste.
The lithium-ion design delivers steady power, charges quickly, and lasts up to a year depending on use. It mounts discreetly behind the headrail, keeping your window treatments looking clean and polished.
Make the switch once and enjoy better performance, lower costs, and less maintenance.
The Benefits
Powering your shades shouldn’t be a hassle. Upgrading to a Rechargeable Battery Wand gives you reliable performance without the constant cycle of buying, replacing, and disposing of AA batteries.
No More Buying AA Batteries
Most standard battery-operated shades rely on 12 AA batteries to function. While that might seem simple at first, the cost adds up quickly. On average, you could be spending around $21 every 6 months, depending on how often you use your shades. Over the lifespan of your window treatments, that becomes a significant investment in disposable batteries. Upgrading to a rechargeable wand eliminates this ongoing cost and helps reduce household waste.
Never Lose Power
Traditional alkaline batteries slowly lose their ability to deliver full power as they drain. This can cause your shades to slow down or behave inconsistently until the batteries are completely replaced. The Rechargeable Battery Wand uses a lithium-ion battery that maintains consistent performance all the way down to 1 percent. Your shades stay responsive and reliable until the battery is fully depleted.
Low Battery Notifications
With PowerView Automation, it’s easy to keep track of your battery level. When the charge gets low, you’ll receive a notification from the PowerView App or by email. It will tell you exactly which shade needs attention, so you can recharge at the right time. No guesswork and no unexpected downtime.
Quickly Swap or Charge
Recharging is fast and flexible. The optional Dual Charging Station allows you to keep spare battery wands charged and ready. When a battery runs low, simply remove it from the magnetic mount and snap in a fully charged one. The low battery can then go into the charger to be ready for next time. You can also leave the wand mounted and use the single charger to recharge it in place. Both options will have the wand fully charged in under three hours.

Comparing Motorization Systems: PowerView vs. SoftTouch
When considering automated window treatments, understanding the different motorization systems available is key. For instance, a detailed comparison of PowerView vs. SoftTouch can help you determine which technology best suits your needs for smart control and convenience. Each system offers unique features that can enhance the functionality and aesthetic of your home.
When considering automated window treatments, understanding the differences between motorization systems is key. While both PowerView Automation and SoftTouch motorization offer convenience, they differ in features and integration capabilities. PowerView, for instance, is Hunter Douglas's sophisticated smart home system, offering advanced control via a remote, smartphone app, or voice commands, and works seamlessly with rechargeable battery wands. SoftTouch, on the other hand, provides a simpler, more intuitive operation, often activated with a gentle pull or push.
The choice between these systems can depend on your desired level of automation and integration. For those looking to build a comprehensive smart home ecosystem, PowerView offers superior connectivity. However, for straightforward, easy-to-use automation, SoftTouch is an excellent option. Both systems can benefit from the long-lasting power provided by rechargeable battery wands, reducing the need for frequent battery changes.
Here’s a quick look at key differences:
- PowerView Automation:
- Advanced smart home integration
- Control via app, remote, or voice
- Scheduling and scene creation
- Works with rechargeable battery wands
- SoftTouch Motorization:
- Simple, intuitive operation
- Manual activation (pull/push)
- Battery-powered (often rechargeable options available)
