POWTREE Upgraded 6000mAh V8 SV10 Battery 215681 Replacement Compatible with Dyson V8 Animal/Absolute/Motorhead/Fluffy/SV10 Handheld Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Li-ion Battery

I was about to throw out my Dyson because it would only work for about 15-30 seconds and stop. It was only about a year old when the battery started to fail and it would pulse on and off, everything I could tell was that it needed to be serviced from what I read online. I meticulously cleaned it and it still did not work. I did not want to spend $130-$150 for a true Dyson battery so I decided to give this a try.It took about 2 minutes to swap it out and it charged up just fine on the wall charger that the vacuum came with originally. Side by side they are more or less identical and they managed to reverse engineer this thing very well.I am not buying into the claim that it has more ampacity than the factory battery, they are the same size and weight, it would take more battery cells to accomplish that feat. It does however, last just as long as the factory battery when it was new. I have used it for a couple of months now and I am still amazed how long it lasts and I am happy that it brought new life to my Dyson that was destined for the landfill but remains part if the family.

This fixed our vacuum for a couple months and then the battery stopped working again even though we followed the "rules". We didn't plug it in until it was dead. We took it off the charger when it was full. This replacement didn't even last us 6 months before completely dying out. No warning, the unit completely stopped receiving all power. Not worth the money, you're better off putting that money towards a new vacuum.

Pros: Super Easy to install, long lasting battery, good bang for your buck instead of having to replace an entire vacuum.Cons: a little more expensive than the other third party replacements, but it had good power to the battery and lifeEasily fit into our Dyson V8Highly recommend to anyone having a Dyson vacuum that still works, but battery life dies too quickly

Do not order this battery! It has not worked since I got it ... I have called Dyson and they said it is the battery ... helped me trouble shoot ... I kept thinking it would work and kept messing and taking it off and on thinking it was me ... now the warranty is up ... IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP !!!!!Thank you !!!!

This battery has been holding up well for a couple of weeks now. My only concern is that one of the three LEDs seems to flicker rather than come on solid. It's the LED that would show 100% charge as the other two show 1/3 and 2/3 charge. This being the case, I rated the battery life 4 out of 5 stars because I don't know if it's the LED or the battery.

This battery worked fine for a little over a year and if I'd rated yesterday I would have given it 5 stars as it's given us no problems and seems reasonably powerful.However, today we were having trouble with the vacuum and it wouldn't 'suck'. I pressed the button twice and the blue power indicator blinked, on the the third press it flashed orange and then flame started coming out of the little power hole. I grabbed the vacuum by the nozzle and carried it out the front while. It burned for a while on the street corner until I finished Google-ing how to put out a lithium battery fire. Hint: it's hard. I ended up putting it in a bucket filled with water, but it is still burning (slowly) a few hours later.I don't know what happened, I'm glad it was me using the device at the time rather than my kids. I bought this as I thought it would a power upgrade, I now realize it was putting my family + house at risk. I guess I'll either be changing from Dyson to another stick cordless brand, or sticking with genuine packs from now on.

work's okay, but I'm not convinced that this battery is the size and capacity that it is advertised to be. Replaced the OEM battery which was much lower capacity but this one does not seem to last any longer between charges.

Dyson's are stupid expensive, so when my V8 Animal just died, which sounds even sadder than it is, I was pretty bummed. Fortunately, the Dyson website has diagnostic procedures to follow to figure out why your vacuum won't take a charge anymore. Mine turned out to be a a dead battery, which Dyson was happy to charge me $149 to replace. Thankfully, this third party replacement was available. I had forgotten how long the charge was supposed to last and how powerful the vacuum was supposed to be! Now it's back to like new.The installation should have been a breeze, since it's only three screws to remove. Unfortunately, Dyson puts those tiny screws in with some kind of jackhammer robot or something, so they're really hard to remove. But I did it!I strongly recommend keeping the old battery, since the label on it contains your vacuum's original serial number and other info.
