A portable controller having a portable power supply for transitioning tint of an optical device such as an electrochromic device. The portable power supply has at least one battery located within a housing and a support structure for supporting the battery. The portable controller has circuitry with logic for controlling power to the optical device. In some cases, the portable power supply may provide a higher than normal drive voltage to the optical device to accelerate transition to the tint state and then may reduce the drive voltage to a normal level.
A portable power supply for transitioning an optical device of an IGU to a tint state, the portable power supply comprising:
A method of transitioning an EC device to a tint state, the method comprising:
A portable controller for transitioning tint level of one or more optical devices, the portable controller comprising:
A portable controller for controlling transitioning EC devices to different tint states, the controller comprising:
