Poor design for charging the shade’s batteries
We’ve had our motorized shades for over a year. During that time they have looked and operated quite well. However the battery recently started beeping indicating that it was time to be recharged. We have the cables to do this but there are no instructions telling us what to do with the cables to initiate the charging. The end of the cable has a micro usb connector but there is no obvious place in which to plug it in. After spending 30 minutes searching for the cable port I finally found a “possible” spot in which the usb male connector might fit. It’s in a very awkward spot. I now have both batteries charging - at least I think they might be - and I see there is no LED indicator to tell me that charging is occurring. This is a very poor setup. I guess we need to wait 8 or so hours to see if we can raise and lower the shades without any beeping. That will be our only indicator that we have charged the batteries successfully.
