Can we just call out how easy it is to disassemble and repair a Roomba? No other robot from any other company that I have seen is this user friendly when it comes to repairs, let alone finding OEM parts. There may be better robots out there, but this alone will keep me using iRobot for quite a while.
Agreed...super easy
Perks of them having developed bomb disposal robots for YEARS before designing vacuuming robots
Here we are months later. Have you noticed any battery performance degradation or that it can no longer clean the entire job on one charge?
I was initially interested in this battery, but there are plenty of reviews on Amazon that say it works good at first, then dies quickly. Moreover, there is only one purchase option, and the seller appears to be located in Morocco. In addition to the poor battery reviews, the seller has pretty horrible reviews with 100% negative reviews for the past 90 days and a 57% average negative lifetime reviews. He seems to have a pattern of taking people's money and not delivering any batteries. BUYER BEWARE!
Wow! I wouldn't mind upgrading my battery in my J7 and i7
LOL, reviews all over the map! Other than Adam, anyone finding this cheaper battery worth it? Hard to find honest review after 1 year of use versus one week. Adam, a review after two years would be awesome!
Maybe its just me but hopefully another manufacturer comes out with one of these bigger batteries because I ordered this one using the link on this video from Amazon right after he posted I am now on my third one in 10 months it's only lasting barely 2 months before it keeps less than the charge than the OEM battery does. Yeah I am fast forward 10 months and the reviews on the Amazon listing all reflect the same thing they're barely lasting a month or two before they die.
I wonder if the extra weight of that bigger battery will effect the robot?
Is the higher battery capacity still working well for you? Any issues?
Battery life wasn't too much of a big deal to me, because I only need a few areas vacuumed regularly. But still wish Irobot had included the beefier battery. Otherwise the Robot seems phenomenal.
and bagless 😅
Are you still using this battery?
When you switched batteries, did the Roomba lose its map?
How long does it take to recharge compared to the original battery?
When the robot pauses to recharge, it supposedly only charges enough to finish the job before resuming. Does that work with this larger battery?
Please ping me when this is answered as well! Thank you
Everything works, except the part where it charges enough to finish the job, it charges more than needed because this battery is a larger capacity.
Mine just died after about 2 months.
Can you let me know if the battery’s capacity degrades faster because it is not as expensive?
Maybe they have based the battery size on some kind of data from their connected users.
Hey Adam, does the battery work on S9+ too? Will it fit?
Ok, folks. I wanted to let people know I tried out this battery replacement. I did notice longer usage from the battery. However, the battery failed after just a month of usage. Fortunately, it happened while in the return period. Had to pay for the return postage, but worth it. So, I don't personally recommend this upgrade.
I have seen similar reports that this battery fails quickly. Too bad I could really use a longer run time. Right now my J7+ takes 3 times longer to clean my house than it should because it spends mist of its time recharging.
Well I know what my i8+ is getting soon. I'd love to see a max single charge run time test. Start by having it clean all on double pass mode with edge clean enabled. If it can complete that all on one charge see if it'll run until it dies if the base is unplugged.
Edge clean enabled? They didn't add edge cleaning suction, did they like upright
@@kinglord5429 No there's an option to have the machine do a final edge sweep and the end of each room. Making the machine trace along the entire outer wall area with the side brush.
Yeah when I saw this I expected to see a test that shows max run time on the OEM battery and max time on the aftermarket battery.
That is the only metric that would provide any useful information for comparison.
Basically what we learn from this video is that it fits in the hole and lasted longer. Oh, and yeah, nothing blew up.
Can you give an update on this battery since it's been a few years? How is it?
Hi Adam! Do you if it would be possible to buy a large capacity battery for the s9 ?
Please test avoiding objects with socks, masks, toys, car keys, untied sneakers, pencil ..
I read that some users encounter charging issues since there seems to be a charge time limit of 240 minutes. My i7 doesn't go back to the base when the battery starts to be empty. Will a bigger battery solve this issue?
When you first said $850 thought you talking price of the battery 🤯, glad that wasn't it. Does the app recognize capacity of the battery and compensate for it. Kind of funny this vacumm is practically new and already third party battery replacement. Time will tell because these take few chargers to break in.
most likely the battery fitting is the same as S9 etc
The third party battery existed before the j7 was released. Nothing surprising about this at all.
Why would iRobot design a different battery for every model? That would be stupid.
When will you test the Shark AI Self Empty?
How much battery life was left?
I noticed roomba 980 battery will fit in the roomba i7 but different connector. I wonder why they did this 🤔
should take apart that battery pack to see what cell they have put into it. manufactures hide garbage batteries all the time, jack up the mAh and under preforms. Also order one from them and see if you get the same batteries inside the pack. So they aren't hand picking for reviews.
how much charge was left? I think I will get a bigger battery for my I8 now as they are very cheap on amazon. Thanks for the review.
Thanks to Adam and this video I ordered me one of these batteries it should be here next Thursday I got the 5200 mah battery by the same brand name Cameron sino
@@Momgumery how did it work out?
@@forgetaboutit8252 working great
Any links for batteries, I just got an i5 roomba!!!
My two cents. The results you got was what I expected. More mah more time. But having several years experience with batteries in drones not all batteries are equal. Asian manufacturers are experts at making batteries look good but you get what you pay for. Typically when the capacity goes up a lot and the price very little what you get is a battery that works great at first but won’t recharge near as many times as the one the OEM supplied. That means the battery starts going bad sooner. So buyer beware . A good high capacity battery should cost a lot more than a standard one and if not well you take your chances.
As always great video.

The battery in the video costs $104 as of this time, so definitely not cheap. Cameron Sino is apparently a pretty reliable brand based on a very brief google search so take that with a grain of salt.
does anyone know if they have one for s9. that would be awesome for it
Can you test the battery in the i3 if you have it but if you don’t can you do it in the i7+ to?
It's the same size as what's in my 500 series Roomba's.
Oh and by the way, do you have or have owned a 500 series Roomba like a 530 or 555?
I got a 595 sold at costco and its a tank, just doesn't want to quit
@@kinglord5429 Debating on buying the i8 from Costco. Read reviews people said robot left marks on their furniture etc.
Thanks for the info on large battery on thr J& irobot.a year ago. Any update as I just got my new J7 and the battery time sucks? 3 hrs vacum time and 5 hrs charge time to vac. my house.. That sucks. Thanks Sarge
It doesn’t work with the J7. I haven’t found any compatible with the j7 apart from iRobot exclusives 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the information, wher I can order it please
Can you please update us on how well this battery works?
Still works great. No problems. If you want longer battery life it’s worth the money.
Hey Adam, can you please give an update on how this battery is holding up?
I dont use it a ton but have not had any problems with it.
Adam does this battery work for the i3 cause I have an i3
I see that you have the new upgraded rollers. How do they compare to the older model rollers. People have said it gets stuck while going over carpets and rugs. Also that the e new ones make more sound?
I have a really big house....3,500 sq ft. I have rejected Roomba because of battery, but maybe this will work. Also most of the floor are Mexican soltillo tile. They are hand made and very uneven. I am concerned that robots with very sensitive object avoidance will not work on these floors. They will think there are objects in the way.
Buy one and test it out, if it doesn’t work then just return it?
@@vivorum I thought I read from a review on one of these batteries bought on amazon, that if you return it, the shipping cost was 20 bucks.
Hi Adam would the 5200 mah battery that Walmart sells for iRobot vacuum last longer than the original battery it’s the Cameron sino battery just like the one in your video
the 6800 is 3x bigger than original. you can do the math with 5200
Can you try and find one for the S9 plus plz😊
They are not shipping to Europe, right?
So how much battery was left after it finished cleaning your entire house? I don’t think it was mentioned in the video
I would say about 1/5th the indicator did not turn red so I would guess maybe 20-30 more minutes.
@@AdamsReviews So about 20% battery left then? And you said that the original would not finish your house correct?
Can we get a 1 yr update please?
I did this upgrade before I saw this video (built my Own battery though)(just saw the reviews on yours.. Lots of complaints) .
But the oem bms decided to die and I can't find any info on the bms or a pinout of the connector pin.
Anyone know what the pins all connect to? I'm gonna likely replace the bms with a high Amp rated bms and reuse the pin connector... But need to know how it's supposed to connect... (i8+)
One issue with a larger battery is the roomba i8 has a 240min max charge time... So it WON'T fully charge the battery as it takes over 4hrs to charge when dead. Unless you schedule a 25min "spot clean" between charging or pull it off the charge n put it back on manually.
Any long term side effects of the larger battery?
No but I havent used it a ton.
@@AdamsReviews I'll be getting my J7+ tomorrow. Wondering if I should preemptively buy the 6800 mah battery. My house is only 1,881 sq ft, with only 380 sq ff being medium pile carpet. Think the stock battery can do the whole house in one go?
Hey Adam , the link takes you to a 5200mah battery not 6800
I just fixed it please see above.
Thank you
Hey Adam ,
is the cleaning ability better than the i7 or basically the same since I don’t have any pets
Can you open the battery and show us what's actually inside.
Never disassemble batteries like this!
does it void warranty if i disassemble or no?
dont think so there is no sticker or anything.
Thanks for your sharing 😊,this battery is a huge bitch , digging it 👍
Just Ordered mine $102.00 on Amazon
Will it work with i6+?
Should work for the i6 i7 i8 and j7
@@AdamsReviews Can you test how many mins the battery will last in total?
Can I jump start car battery with the roomba battery ?
I wonder if using a third party battery like this voids the warranty for the robot. I would think it might but not sure. A lot of reviews on amazon talk about how it worked at first but then quit working. The real issue is that Irobot needs to include larger batteries with their bots. That's one reason, among others why I think Roborock is better than Roomba in a lot of ways, larger battery and much better navigation.
It does
will this void the Warranty
Yes, a battery supplied by anyone except iRobot is going to void your warranty. Depending on how picky they are, opening up the back of the robot will likely void the warranty, too. If they don't have some kind of indicator on the screws or panel seams, you can probably get away with putting the old battery back in before sending it off for warranty service.
Ahahah that shake
That’s a joke that iRobot don’t supply a larger battery when there is space for it and when it’s such an expensive model. I bet they list one separately on their parts page as an upgrade so they can extract more money from customers.
Actually I do not think they even offer a bigger battery for sale....really really stupid.
@@AdamsReviews I’m pretty sure they will. They’ll do it when there are a lot of machines out there and pitch it as an upgrade. They have offered higher capacity batteries as an upgrade before, for other models. The difference is that this time, there is no need to wait for battery improvements. The battery compartment is more empty space than it is battery. It’s just wrong that they don’t fill it up when people are paying so much for the initial purchase.
So a solution is possible... And not through iRobot "normal" way. Can we agree this is a scam from iRobot ?
definitely. What im very surprised is that there actual "whole" where the battery goes is "designed" for a big battery, but they deliberately put a really small one.
@@xeon2k8 Yeah some in another video explain it's because theframe is actually an old design and changed little by little. so they keept the hole in place without filling it.
@@xeon2k8 Did they tell you it was a bigger battery, then send a smaller one?
If not, I'd suggest spending a bit of time learning the definition of the word "scam".

@@GryphonRonas what? are you high or what? i said the hole for the battery is quite big, but the factory puts a small battery in there, deliberately. As you can see in the video there IS space for a bigger one but choose not to put a big one.
roomba: empties bin
the entire house: * v i b e r a t e s *
Mine came with a 4460mAh battery
