Disclaimer: Dyson recommends purchasing original batteries for the best performance and longevity. These options are costly but worth it if the price isn’t a concern. As one of the more popular variants, there will be more V8 battery options than V7, which is good. Consumers can go for a higher capacity 5000 mAh variant or a lighter but lower capacity battery. I bring this up because the sheer availability of third-party components includes batteries, which we’ll look at in this article.

Of all Dyson models, the V11 Outsize has the best overall run time, exceeding the 100-minute mark from its two detachable batteries. Avoid buying second-hand batteries. Since battery cells degrade over time, purchasing secondhand defeats the purpose of buying one as there’s no way to know the battery’s exact condition. For those of you who have an out-of-warranty V6, I wouldn’t fault you for purchasing a third-party alternative to give your vacuum a new lease in life. However, these larger cell batteries will be heavier. Some options come with extra filters, screwdrivers, and bolts, so it’s something to consider for deal hunters.Compatible with: V6 Car+ Boat, V6 Top Dog, V6 Mattress, V6 Trigger, V6 Trigger Pro Excl, V6 Multifloor Exclusive, V6 Top Dog HEPA, V6 Trigger Extra, V6 Baby+ Child Vacuum Compatible with: V11 Torque Drive, V11 Complete Extra, V11 Absolute Pro, V11 Absolute Extra, V11 Fluffy Extra I have good news. Manufacturers are starting to produce battery adapters that’ll fil popular brands like Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, etc.

Make sure to charge the battery before stowing it away. Don’t use the max setting all the time: Avoid using the max setting for long bursts. Use this only as needed in high-traffic areas.

All current models in their line have removable batteries. Dyson introduced a detachable battery in the V11 series, so you don’t need to loosen bolts. I’d go for an original if your vacuum is still under warranty. Otherwise, it would make sense to go with a cheaper replacement. We’ll be talking about the best Dyson replacement batteries. Yes, Dyson’s aren’t disposable and you can’t replace the battery. This is one misconception I have before owning one. What if you have a tool lying around? Like a DeWalt cordless drill and would like to use its battery.Most options I’ve listed above are replacement batteries, not original ones. Some have excellent build quality and offer better run times, while others don’t hold up well. It’s better than replacing the whole vacuum itself. Most (if not all options) are manufactured in China, hence the lower cost. Like in the V6, some options here include bolts and filters. So it’s something to consider if you need those parts. Since these are electronic components, there will be a failure rate. It is what it is, and the important thing is choosing a brand with a low fil rate. It’s reasonable to expect a two or three-year cycle before replacement. I’ve owned a Dyson V6 for five years, and the battery still works.

Next, we’ll look at replacement options for the Dyson V10. Since this model is just a few years old, there won’t be as many options as the V7 or V8. Yes, for all Dyson cordless vacuums. It requires three to four steps. All you need is a Philips screwdriver, knowledge of where the bolts are located, and some DIY skills. It’s simple. Located the screws, unfasten them, slide out the battery, insert the new battery, tighten screws, and you’re done. Which Dyson has the best battery life?
