Estimating the term…
The invention relates to an actuator for driving a sun protection or blocking screen between a plurality of positions, the actuator comprising an electric motor (4), a reduction gear (6), at least one battery (8) powering the geared motor, a circuit (12) for controlling the geared motor, a charging connector (16) designed to allow the at least one battery (8) to be connected to a power supply device, the actuator also comprising a casing (2) having a longitudinal axis (X) for housing the motor (4), the reduction gear (6), the battery (8) and the control circuit (12), the charging connector (16) being a standard connector, the actuator being intended to co-operate with a power supply device comprising a standard connector corresponding to the standard connector of the actuator. The control circuit (12) has means for transmitting, to the power supply device, a request for a power supply profile comprising at least a
