Which battery wand fits a Sonnette?
What battery wand does a Sonnette take?
Either one, and only the old part can tell you which. Sonnette Cellular Roller Shades have been built with both wands, so a Sonnette bought in one year and a Sonnette bought in another may not take the same wand. Slide the old one out and count:
- Twelve batteries means the 18V wand, part 7520068000
- Eight batteries means the 12V wand, part 7520069000
They are not interchangeable: the wrong one will not run the shade.
What kind of window covering is a Sonnette?
Sonnette is a curved cellular shade on a roller — a single arc of honeycomb fabric rather than a stack of pleats.
Where do I find the wand on a Sonnette?
The wand sits in the cassette headrail. Sonnette cassettes are enclosed, so there is usually an end cap to release first.
What should I watch out for on a Sonnette?
The cassette is enclosed, so the end cap comes off before anything else moves. Release it properly rather than levering against the wand itself.
What does a failing wand look like on a Sonnette?
Sonnette has been built with both wands. If you have several Sonnettes installed at different times, they may genuinely not all take the same wand — check each one.
What is the usual mistake with a Sonnette?
Assuming a set of Sonnettes all match. This line has been built with both wands, so count the cells in each one rather than in the first one.
Do the eight-cell parts fit a Sonnette?
Count first, then you will know. Eight batteries in a Sonnette Cellular Roller Shade means an eight-cell headrail, where both the conversion kit and the 13 inch power cable can fit. Twelve puts it on 18V, where neither does.
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.
