Before You Begin
Lutron recommends using Duracell Alkaline batteries in Lutron battery-operated shade products that require D-cell batteries. Lutron recommends Energizer Lithium-Ion batteries for shade products configured to work with AA-cell batteries.
For optimal battery life, install new batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not install carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries and do not mix battery types.
The sections below cover how to change the batteries on Serena and Triathlon Wood Blinds.
Section 1: Access the Top of the Headrail
If the shade is Outside Mounted the batteries are accessible at the top of the headrail. If the shade is Inside Mounted, the shade will need to be removed from the brackets to access the battery compartment in the top of the headrail.
