The function of the 9-volt battery is designed to allow the initial installer to program the controller on a new house before the house power is turned on. That way, the installer doesn't need to return to the house after the power is turned on. The 9-volt battery has enough power to program the controller, but that is all it can do. The battery is not needed to maintain the controller settings during a power outage. |

I could have sworn that my 2005 vintage controller stated that the 9V battery was used in order to maintain the time and date and the programming. But that was back then…. |

Thanks for informing our readers about the 9v battery. I assumed that the battery was for backup purposes during a power outage and didn’t know that it didn’t serve a purpose beyond initial programming.
I still wonder how an extra watering cycle appeared right after my new electrical meter was installed, and recommend others check their Hunter controller if they’ve had their meter recently replaced. |
