$$$ to replace the battery? Does anyone know how much Dyson charges to replace the rechargeable battery when it dies?

Check Amazon or Google it. I bought on online from a different company for $29.95 and it works better than the original.

Thanks for the post J. Claridge. I checked with Batteies Plus in my area. They wouldn't replace the Li-ION battery on my Dyson DC16 handvac due to the chance of explosion with Lithium batteries. Just to risky!I was able to find a good deal on ebay for a replacement battery! I even bought a spare one for jobs like vacuuming my car. It's good to have a spare charged and ready!

If you go to the dyson.com web-site, a replacement battery is $74.99. So for about half the original price, you can get a new battery...it seems pretty expensive to me.

YEAH,..TRUE dat,.... like ay other "High-end" name brand,just buying a part such as amere batery w/ the smae "NAME-stamp" on it COSTS BIG bucks,.....BUT you probably can find the EXACT SAME battery for it elsewhere for a OT CHEAPER,..such as RADIO SHACK, who has ALL battery types for EVERYTHING! (I but all my lithium batteries for my cameras, and cordless phones there.~JAI

I've had great success in replacing batteries around my house by going to Batteries Plus. They can build any type and size of battery you want, for a fraction of retail cost - NiMH, NiCad, Lithium, whatever. Example: DeWalt cordless drill - retail for replacement battery: $70. They rebuilt my pack at Batteries Plus for $20, and it works just as good, recharges and reconditions in the original charging stand, everything.Look up "batteries" in the phone book - there's other companies that do the same thing if this name doesn't sound familiar to ya.

Dyson has serious problems with the Dyson Root 6. The Dyson root 6 has several defects due to "supplier issues". One such "issue" is the lot of poor performing batteries on these vacuums. Do not pay for the replacement battery. Call the customer service line and describe your problem. Insist that Dyson replace it due to know defects. I've had two batteries replaced, a new charger and an entirely new unit sent to me. Unfortunately, none of Dyson replacement parts worked and the Dyson Root 6 is now making a wonderful doorstop for my extra bedroom.

The battery is removable with some effort. The company does not sell replacement batteries to individuals, but you can google the battery part number to locate a distributor. Cost is between $20-30.

Changing the batteries is not for the weak of heart in the Hoover S1120. Although I did find batteries somewhere in an Internet search, they cost as much as just buying a new handheld. And the unit itself is not designed for easy replacement of batteries.....you basically have to take the whole thing apart. I would suggest doing yourself a favor, and simply replace the vac with one that was designed with the consumer in mind from the very start.

Actually, you don't. The battery is rechargeable, but if it fails, just buy a new set. It would cost more to replace the battery.

I have not had to replace the battery for the last two years. Since the price is so reasonable, I would purchase a new one instead of replace the battery. It is nor worthy replace the battery. I hope that help.

My battery lasted about 1 year. Disappointing. But I do like the vac, so I purchased another battery.It's a bit like buying a razor and constantly buying replacement blades.

When it was new it lasted about 15 minutes. I used it once or twice and week and after a year the suction went from soso to almost nothing no matter how longed I charged it. I contacted the manufacture to buy a new battery and was told they cannot be replaced.....just throw it out and buy an new vacuum. I bought it because of the electolux name. My mom and my daughter bought one also and had the same experience. I'm back to my Eureka Boss, less than half the price and it does carpeted areas also. It COMES with an extra battery.

The battery came with the trimmer so I don't know the cost of a replacement. I did read somewhere that it was $99 for a new battery. Frankly, I think it would probably be cheaper to buy a whole new unit especially if it were on sale.

Swifferbattery.com has a replacement rechargeable battery! Great and only option out there.

The batteries are re-chargeable Ni-Cad. When they finally fail altogether (mine did after about 10 months) you have to remove all the screws holding the motor case halves together. Inside you will fine a mass of batteries with steel tabs that have been spot welded together. By design, it is easier to just replace the entire vacuum than the batteries.

Mine worked 3 months last year. I went to start it this year in May and the battery is shot. I finally got in touch with WORX and paid $28.00 shipment for a replacement battery and charger. The charger here and I'm still waiting for the replacement battery.I'm paying $30.00 a week to have my lawn cut weekly and have a $350.00 lawn mower that don't work with a new charger. I would find another brand of electric lawnmower if I were you. Good luck Dave

I havent had a problem with the battery, but a friends filter lid broke. Just go to the dyson website and there is a link they are good about customer service. No questions asked they send out replacement parts quickly

I haven't had to replace it yet. Mine hasn't had a lot of hours on it. I find it hard for me to use mostly because of my age and handicaps. I expect to pay in the neighborhood of $125 when the time comes. I have a townhouse so the yard isn't large and can be covered in one charge. I recommend self propelled.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

Dyson has replaced my battery and various electronic parts 3 times now. And right now it still doesn't work. So I don't know what is happening with yours. They thought mine was a charging problem but it really isn't. It works just fine now as long as it has a good suction on the floor. Customer service is great. The product is great when it works. But it is an inherently flawed product.

Mine doesn't charge anymore either. I didnt know the batteries were replaceable! Sorry I'm just posting this so if you get an answer I'll be notified too :) good luck!

Contact Dyson. Mine was on the recall list. Dyson sent me all the info I need to return the unit to them. I brought my unit (unpacked) to the local UPS office. They packed it and sent it to Dyson (no charge to me). In about a month, Dyson sent me the repaired unit (again, no charge to me).
