Ellard’s blind motors are a great solution for people who want automated blinds with less work. Our battery-powered motors bring the luxury of powered blinds without the hassle of hardwiring each individual motor to a main electrical outlet. With a battery life that lasts for months, our wireless blind motor solutions can verge on being fit and forget.
To maximise the length of the battery life in your blinds, before first use, make sure to charge your battery-powered blind motors for a minimum of 6 hours. This way you can ensure your motors will be operating at full potential with a guaranteed long battery life.
