Fixed our solar powered motorized Easyshade
5 year old Easyshade stopped working on us. Took the solar panel unit apart and checked the battery, it was measuring 12V open but when I load tested it dropped to almost nothing. Tried cycle charging it with my hobby NiMH charger and it couldn't charge it even at 100mA.
Contacted Easyshade, their only solution was a new $150 solar panel unit. Did some searching and found this and ordered it. The plug that it comes with (standard full size Tamiya plug) didn't fit mine so had to cut it off and use the old battery plug. You can't use wire splicers you'll need to solder as space is tight. Let the battery charge up a few days and then tried it and shade it working good again.
If this happens again will probably just connect directly to the motor with a 12V power supply and work it that way. We hardly ever raise or lower this, probably should have just bought a manual shade to begin with. Thought it might get bounced around during the Santa Ana winds or during storms and would wake up us so wanted a way to easily raise it in the middle of the night, turns out that hasn't been an issue at all.Read full review...

Sun setter awning owner. Check this out!
After using the outdoor sun setter awning for almost 4 years the battery on the solar panel gave up. Called the company and quoted me $170 for the entire solar panel with battery plus shipping and tax. I did my research and found out that you could replace just the battery ( hard to find). Bought this at $29.99. Installing it is easy. The hard part was the connector, you need to cut the old one and solder it to the new one. I replaced 3 awnings and save me more than $500!

Works well
This is a good replacement for the stock solar panel battery, and appears to be of similar size and quality. As others have mentioned, the connector is the wrong size, but I was able to pull the connector off the old battery, and put the wires from the new battery into it, so no soldering or wire nuts were required. The wire gauge on the new battery is thicker than on the stock battery, which means it’s a tighter fit to get everything back in the housing, but it seems to be working well so far, so I am pleased. Time will tell if the new battery is as
durable, but I could replace it 4 times before reaching the cost of a new solar housing from SunSetter, which is the only option they provide. Definitely worth a shot, at least once!Read full review...

SunSetter Solar Powered sunshade battery pack
This battery pack is specifically made for the SunSetter Solar Powered blind. The only problem is the connector doesn't match the one from the defective battery pack. Being handy I simply cut the old pigtail from the defective battery pack and solder it in place of the new battery pack connector. It would be nice if they were both the same.Read full review...

Good product not available from SunSetter
Not available through SunSetter. Must purchase entire solar unit. Saved me over $120 to just replace batteries instead of entire unit. Easy to access and replace, however, I had to splice wires in order to use SunSetter plug-in, which was not difficult. Will definitely purchase batteries again when my next solar shade batteries give out. My shades are 7 years old. Batteries seem to be of good quality and, best of all, they work!Read full review...

Great Value!
Sunsetter would not send me just the battery for replacement and wanted a lot to replace the whole solar module. This battery is identical to original for much less money. Minus 1/2 star because the connecter did not match, but very easy to splice original connector with 2 small wire nuts.Read full review...

Good replacement batteries, solves expensive problem
These batteries are an almost identical replacement for the batteries inside the Sunsetter Solar battery unit and much more ecologically sound than replacing the entire $150 solar panel.
The connections on the new battery differed from the original in my unit and required that the old terminals be swapped to the new batteries. Be prepared to be creative - the original negative terminal was badly corroded and unusable, requiring a substitute. This situation might be different for older or newer versions of the Sunsetter Solar battery - mine was a 2016 model.
My failed batteries would only hold 10.6v while these charged up to 13v after a day in the sun. Nice to have the blinds working again.Read full review...

Good battery, but to use in a sunsetter shade, you’ll need to cut plug and solder original plug to this battery. Would be nice if they included the correct plug.
