Which battery wand fits a Provenance?
What battery wand does a Provenance take?
The 18V wand, part 7520068000, which takes twelve AA batteries. Hunter Douglas documents one wand for Provenance Woven Wood Shades, and this is it: 7520068000 empty, or 7520066000 pre-loaded, which is the same wand sold with batteries already in it.
One check before you order: slide the old wand out and count twelve cells. If you find eight, email us a photo of the headrail sticker before buying anything.
What kind of window covering is a Provenance?
Provenance is woven from natural grasses, reeds and bamboo, so every shade has its own grain. They are heavy for their size, which is part of why they get motorized in the first place.
Where do I find the wand on a Provenance?
The wand sits in the headrail above the roll. Woven wood stacks bulkily, so raise the shade before you go looking.
What should I watch out for on a Provenance?
Woven grasses fray at a cut edge once snagged, and the fray spreads. Keep the wand clear of the weave as it slides past rather than letting it drag along the roll.
What does a failing wand look like on a Provenance?
Woven wood is the heaviest thing this motor lifts, so a weakening wand shows up here first. The classic sign is a Provenance stalling partway while lighter shades in the same house still run normally — same batteries, same age, different load.
What is the usual mistake with a Provenance?
Buying a wand because a Provenance stalls while lighter shades in the house still run. That often is the wand, but it is also exactly what tired batteries look like on the heaviest shade first, and a set of cells costs a fraction of the part.
Do the eight-cell parts fit a Provenance?
No. The conversion kit and the 13 inch power cable both belong to an eight-cell PowerRise-era headrail, and Hunter Douglas documents Provenance with the twelve-cell 18V wand only. Neither part has anywhere to go.
If you are still unsure, the six-symptom check takes two minutes. Or email a photo of the sticker inside your headrail to support@batterywands.com and we will identify it for you.
