Common questions
What does the Battery Charger V2 (9029465) charge?
Somfy describes part 9029465 as a charger for Simu solar-powered battery motors. It recharges the NiMH battery used in the AutoSun system, and Somfy lists it for the T3.5 ESP Hz 12V DC motors and kits with 3 Nm, 6 Nm, and 10 Nm ratings.
Which motors is it listed for?
Somfy lists the charger for the T3.5 ESP Hz 12V DC motors 2009596, 2009597, and 2009598, plus the AutoSun kits 2009606, 2009607, and 2009608. Those kits include the battery and solar panel, and part 9029465 gives you a mains backup for charging.
How do I charge an AutoSun battery?
Simu's FAQ says to unplug the battery from the motor, connect it to the charger, and charge for at least 3 hours. A charged battery should read about 13 volts. Reconnect the battery to the motor afterward and test the shade with your remote.
When would I need a charger on a solar system?
The solar panel normally keeps the battery topped up. A charger such as the 9029465 helps after long cloudy periods, on a battery that sat in storage, or when the panel sits in shade. Simu rates AutoSun 2 at 15 days of autonomy without sun.
