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.

Got one use out of this battery before it died out on me, and even during the short period of time that it did work, it didn't come close to lasting as long as the OEM battery that came with my Dyson V8 animal handheld vacuum, needless to say, I was very disappointed, well, you get what you pay for, but on a happier note, they do have batteries here on Amazon that are just as good, if not better, than the OEM battery that came with your vacuum, you just have to look in the right place...A word of caution, I made the mistake of throwing the original battery away when I replaced it with this one, DO NOT do that, for the simple reason the model # and serial# are on the battery, and not on the vacuum, I even called the manufacturer, and they couldn't help me because I didn't have those numbers, so for your own sake, make sure you record the numbers on the original Dyson battery and secure them in a place where you have access to them.

It worked! Easy to change.

I've had good luck with other replacement battery packs for my Dyson handhelds but this one from the beginning had a finicky plug and doesn't want to hold a charge. I thought it would get better and now I'm outside of the return. I would look for a different one.

WE use our Dyson hard, keeping it at the back entry of our ranch house. The original battery lasted a LONG time. This one works well. I hope that it lasts as long as our first one. Time will tell.

Worked great for 3 months. Then the battery would not last as long between charges. Not even 4 months of use, and the battery will not charge. Flashing red when trying to charge. Extremely disappointed in this battery.

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.
