My brother has the exact same Dyson and the battery barely lasted a year with infrequent use… probably three charge cycles on it from someone hyper-aware of how to care for Lithium ion (no over-discharge, no extreme temps, etc). So far the aftermarket battery has worked better and longer than the original but when it fails I plan to throw one of my DeWALT batteries on it.
I modded my dyson v7 to run off Kobalt 24v batteries. This is the correct voltage and the Kobalt batteries are cheaper but still made from ultra high quality Samsung cells. Works perfectly and a good option for someone who is not interested buying miuawkee batteries.
I like the idea of running a little over voltage then under voltage. I believe the Dyson is 21.5 volts so the idea of running a 24V Kobalt vs the 18V Milwaukee is appealing.
@@HODIUSDUDE the milwaukee is 18v nominal, and 21v fully charged, same as the Dyson battery. Both are 5s packs, but the milwaukee is 5s2p vs dysons 5s1p.
@@HODIUSDUDE With the new sneaky advertising BS ("20volt MAX") it's not easy to tell what actual voltage people are talking about. All 20v Max batteries are the same 5 cells as 18v batteries. The only difference is the shady companies deceiving people to buy their product. 5 cells charge to 21 volts max, but companies set the full change around 20.4- 20.6. My Milwaukee 18v (20.5v) batteries have a slightly higher full change voltage than the 20v MAX batteries I tested. 6 cell batteries (6x4.2v) have a max charge of 25v, thus a 6 cell Dyson battery will have 24+volts at full charge. Most companies charge their batteries to only 4.1v per cell, thus gaining about 30% more charge cycles. If we forget about all the "MAX" BS, then Dyson is a (6x3.6 working voltage) 21.6v battery. All batteries have a float voltage (12v car battery = 13.6v) which drains off a lot faster than the working voltage. Thus why using the proper working voltage is the correct way to rate battery voltage. I agree with you. I would rather run 24v than 18v, because the motor will draw the same power no matter the voltage, but if the voltage is higher, the current draw will be less.
I just ordered an adapter for my V8 to Milwaukee from Amazon. We have two new V8's that work great, but my old one that I keep in my gyroplane trailer is weak, so Milwaukee to the rescue!
I did a same kind of project, but did not want to loose thefunction of the button switch. I used "ferm" accupacks,, a 3dprinted adapter, and use a BTS555 switch . For safety i used 2 in paralell, the switch should pull down the input to ground, the capacity of bts555 is HUGE, and very low resistance and overloadproof
Ooh. Ebay batteries are only $20 shipped if you wanna experiment. I've been using one for 5 years. One time it didn't respond to charging but finally did. I'm also using a cheap charger which is not advisable.
I sure wish they had a Dyson V10 version, but I understand Dyson bumped up the voltage on the V10 and newer models and the Milw and Dewalt batteries don’t have enough voltage to run them now. I still think an adapter could be done, just need to incorporate a DC to DC converter to raise the voltage as needed. The converter would use a little battery along the way, but so be it…..at least we could use our workbench full of drill batteries
The nominal voltage of the v10 and above is 25.2. Same voltage as the Milwaukee m28 battery system. They sell those same adapters on eBay for 20 bucks.
14:54 - I did a similar thing with my two Dysons and Dewalt. I harvested the 18650s out of the OG Dyson packs. There's a thermal probe glued between two of the cells. I think once it gets a certain temp, it shuts down the "Max" mode.
Interesting Video! I’ve had one of those over priced vacs for years. Never decided whether I like it or it’s a pc o crap. It works great for five minutes, then you have to re-charge it for 3 hours. Piss poor design and battery life. I might have to try this mod someday. Milwaukee fanboy, so plenty of batteries on hand.
Yep, I won't be buying another Dyson until they figure out their battery situation. They need something like this with reasonably priced high capacity batteries that quickly change out. $150 for a battery that lasts 7 mins on high (when brand new) is not my idea of good design. I wish ALL tools used the same batteries, TBH. It's criminal that everyone has these stupid proprietary batteries.
You can also cut the bottom off a dead Milwaukee tool to use as a batter holder. How is that switch holding up? I have ran way less current through them and they don't last long. Also, Milwaukee has the cut off circuitry in the tools, rather than the batteries, so be careful to not run the batteries too low and damage them. The BMS on Dyson batteries are cheap crap and tend to cause the failures. Like when max setting kicks out only after a few seconds.
The only issue is if Milwaukee’s low voltage protection doesnt work. If that vac runs the m18 battery down too far, it wont charge again. The factory m18 charger will read it as a bad pack.
Thank you for your video! I watched an earlier video and purchased an M18 Adapter rather than re-engineer the Dyson battery. In your video, you installed an alternate power switch. I will paraphrase you...the new switch will resolve cooking the original switch. With this new adapter, I use the original switch, but I only get 30 minutes on a Milwaukee XC 5.0 battery. Is that the normal vacuum time for high speed or should I have done something like what you did? Would I do better with a different Power Toll Manufacturer's battery? I am happy that we have extended the Dyson V8 Absolute's run time from 5 minutes to 30. However, I had hoped by using a Power Tool battery that the vacuum would last hours. Unrealistic, perhaps, but my thought nevertheless.
Did you end up having issues with that little switch handling the current? After replacing mine a couple times I ended yp installing a real 20 amp heavy duty 120 volt wall switch to the side of the case and i upgraded all the wiring to 14 gauge 600 volt SIS wire.
I hooked mine up to the main wires and Bricked mine.. got nothing but about 1 second of vacuum goodness and then Smoke and finally sparks and a pop out the back. I used a M8 5amp hour battery. Figured since it's only 18 volts when the vacuum was 20 that there wouldn't be an issue. was wrong.
Well, I’ve done a few now with no issues and I’ve had many comments from guys that have done theirs without issues. Clearly you’ve done something wrong. Possibly hooked the wires up backwards?
Probably polarity wrong? Or other electronic issue 18v is really okay since , when batteries get liwer olts (discharged) the voltage is definitely lower!
Just had the same issue. I just connected the M18 Battery to the Dyson terminals and poof. When I connect the polarity correctly i get a spark but no power. Not sure what I did wrong. I even put the original battery back in and pulled the trigger and got nothing.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm going to do this to my Dyson V6, the battery on mine sucks as well. Does the original trigger still work or is it powered on and off via the switch you added?
Thanks for watching. I have seen videos where guys rig up switches that utilizes the switch in the handle but that’s more time and effort than I am willing to put into it. I’ve done two of these now and the switch that I put in works just fine.
The AH stands for Amp Hours. It just means that the 6ah will give you a little more run time then the 5ah. It doesn't have anything to do with the actual amperage of the battery. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.👍
I soldered my connections to the receiving battery terminals in the handle and added a switch that works with the pull of the Dyson trigger. My problem is that it’s draining the batteries in under 1.5 minutes.
Wow! I’m not sure what the problem would be. I’m getting 1/2 hour out of a 10 year old 4.0ah battery and with a new 5.0ah battery, 1/2 hour of vacuuming only takes out two bars.
@@Kikister101 Motor might need cleaning or something like that? I'm waiting for me DC56 to come in the mail that the offer was kindly accepted for so I can try this. I already have the DeWalt adapter with a switch somewhat like in the video... though will be sure to thoroughly clean the DC56 when arrives after inspecting. I know with motors, the windings can go bad and the resistance can get high to the point the motor doesn't function well or at all. Sometimes, with brushed motor the commutators and/or brushes can be cleaned or more-so with the brushes replaced. I'm not sure yet what kind of motor is in these.
Does it shut down altogether or does it surge? If it surges, I would pull your filters off and see if that changes anything. I know when my filters clog up, mine surges on high. If it shuts down altogether I would try a better battery. Sometimes if I’m running an XC battery and the charge gets down a bit, high won’t work at all. So I plug in a newer 5ah battery and everything works good again. If it’s neither of those two things, I’m sorry I’m at a loss as to what it could be.
@@wolverinegnr If you drain a battery too far you can do damage to it. If you drain a battery too far too many times you will kill the battery. (brick the battery).

Actually it should be DEWALT 20v BATTERY as it much closer to specifications requirements of an OEM BATTER. Furthermore 20v is 2v more than the M18 MILWAUKEE BATTERY which I feel are very well constructed after disassembling several batteries completely (SAMSUNG) 10 CELL are superior when compared to knock offs on AMAZON.

Chinese batteries on Amazon are a complete crapshoot. Some work for days, some work for months. Mine is about a year old (2nd one, 1st one died after a month) and it lasts about 10 mins on low and 30 seconds on high, unlike 7.5 mins on high with a new OEM.
