An average-sized shade (50" by 50" or so) with average use (open and close once a day) should last about a year. Taller and wider shades used twice daily could be closer to three months. We recommend putting the date on the battery wand when you change the batteries so that you can verify how often you are changing your batteries.. Switch battery wands with a working shade- there may be damaged to the current wand. If the shade now works, please contact us to get a replacement battery wand. Unplug battery wand. Press the manual button for a few seconds, then plug the wand back in, then press and release the manual button. If the shade responds, no further action is needed.
