All motorized blinds from Select Blinds Canada are battery operated – no hardwiring required. This makes for easy installation. Each set of blinds with a motorization option will specify the type of power used. Most of our motorized blinds come with rechargeable batteries that last 6-12 months per charge (based on usage), and also include a charger so that you can recharge as needed once or twice per year. Please check the product information of each blind for specifics.
