    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

  • @jimo3129
    @jimo3129 3 роки тому +8

    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.

      Basically what we learn from this video is that it fits in the hole and lasted longer. Oh, and yeah, nothing blew up.

    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.

    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.

      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.
