Which battery wand fits a Parkland wood blind?
The answer
Almost certainly the 18V wand, part 7520068000 - it is the wand in the overwhelming majority of motorized Hunter Douglas headrails, and it takes twelve AA batteries.
Check before you order, though. Hunter Douglas built this line across several automation generations and does not list a single battery wand against it, so the safe move is thirty seconds with the old part in your hand. Slide the wand out of the headrail and count the battery bays:
If the headrail is empty, or you cannot get the old wand out, send a photo of it to support@batterywand.com and we will tell you which one you need.
What this shade is
Parkland is the real-wood horizontal blind - basswood slats in 2 inch and 2 3/8 inch widths. The motor tilts the slats and raises the stack.
Where the wand sits
The wand sits in the head channel above the tilt mechanism. Tilt the slats fully open before you go looking, or the stack is in your way.
How these fail
Wood blinds are heavy and the stack gets heavier as it rises, so a failing wand on a Parkland typically lifts the blind partway and then gives up. Fresh batteries that fix it for a week and then stop are the wand, not the cells.
Is it definitely the wand?
Not every dead shade is a dead wand - travel limits, a lost remote pairing and tired batteries all look the same from across the room. Our six-symptom check sorts them out in a couple of minutes, and it will talk you out of the purchase where it should.
