somfy Rechargeable Battery Pack 2-Pack & Charger Bundle - Power Blinds, Shades, Curtains - Long-Lasting, Easy Install - Wall Mount Clips Included - #9021217, #9025166

The order was filled quickly and seemed to be constructed of quality materials. The included charger charged the battery quickly and fully. However, the problem was that the output connector from battery was a female connection, as is the input connection for the roller shade. Before you order this, be certain you can somehow connect the two female connection. Sadly, I had to return these items, as I got no response from the vendor as to a solution.

I have Norman shades and hated the process of getting the battery tubes out every 3-4 months and filling them with $12 bucks worth of batteries. What a waste! These were a great replacement. I just installed them yesterday, so we hope the charge last at least as long as the battery wands. One of my windows had a short depth frame, and these are a little wider than the wands, so I had to make some cuts and modifications to the interior trim pieces, but customization is always the world I live in. Anyways, I got it to fit. One of the things that is critical is knowing the type of connector you need and what these have. The Somfy motors on the Norman shades are a 2-pin male/female connector. The pictures and descriptions do not stipulate this, and actually show a 3-pin connector on the battery pack itself. However this is just where the charger plugs in. The output cable does have a 2-pin terminal end as needed. Once installed and plugged in to the motors, they immediately began working as they should. The batteries needed charging when I received them. One took about an hour and the other took about 2 hours. They are pricey, but I wont go through the regret of tossing out pricey AAs every few months.

The Somfy rechargeable battery pack does not work on Bali motorized shades. It does have proper male usb connector.

A perfect OEM replacement

Not compatible with Bali mechanical shades

As expected and works perfect.

Have a Somfy shade that just sucks up batteries and decided to give this a shot. Worked great, and an easy install. As my other Somfy shades' batteries die, I'll be replacing them with these also. At the current price of Lithium AAs, they will pay for themselves in no more than 18 months.

This product may be fine but it is not compatible with Bali roll up motorized shades with Z-Wave technology.
