I purchased this battery for my Roomba 770 in October 2019. The battery will no longer take a charge and is basically dead with a blinking red battery light and Err 7 code. Resetting the Roomba did not help. My original Roomba battery lasted more than 5 years. This battery only lasted 8 months -- not worth the cost. I will no longer rely on these batteries and now will have to buy an authentic Roomba battery.
Pros
Works Great !!!Cleaning my carpet s !!!
Cons
The product may not be compatible with future Roomba models, rendering it useless in the long term
Got this to fix our Roomba whose battery died after long periods of non-use. We chose this replacement so that we hopefully won’t have that problem again with this new type of battery. Easy to put new pieces in the roomba and now it works even better than new!
Pros
Fit perfect
Cons
The Roomba may not run as efficiently with this battery installed
I get an error code 7 every time I try to use it. Unfortunately I fiddled around too long and the return window is closed now. Hopefully someone out there will have a solution to the error code 7.PENDING:I have been promptly contacted by the vendor after my inquiry. They are presently sending a replacement battery to hopefully solve this issue. They have been very reasonable and fair to deal with. I will further update after I install the replacement batteryFINAL NOTE: The second battery did…
Pros
Came quickly and installed in minutes
Cons
The battery may not be covered by a warranty or guarantee, leaving customers with no recourse if they are dissatisfied
My friend bought a new Roomba, and she gave me her old one that had stopped working. She thought it needed a new battery, but the cost for a new battery from iRobot didn't seem worth it. I ordered and installed this one and let it charge, and the Roomba came to life! I now own a 'new' Roomba and it works like a dream!
Pros
This works great for my room a 770.Installed it and it instantly worked .
Cons
It seems that the two year old OEM battery did better than this one.
Outside of the return window now. Roomba keeps docking with a battery error. Have removed, replaced battery and also reset memory on robot and battery level ,and still has same error. Worked fine for a couple of weeks then started having the error. Should just buy authentic, a little more expensive but none of these issues.
Pros
My Romba is back up and running fine. It was nice to find a battery for my older model.
Although I was skeptical that this was going to help my old Roomba, it works perfectly! My Roomba 551 is quite old & has been a reliable helper for years (I am 72 yrs old) but the original battery would only charge enough to run for 15 minutes! I thought that I would need to say goodbye to my old friend & helper. I looked for a new battery & found the longer life battery. It was easily replaced & my Roomba was off like a shot. I pushed the docking button & it immediately docked perfectly &…
Pros
No issues. Replaced old battery that would no longer hold a charge.
Cons
The battery may not hold up well in extreme temperatures or conditions, making it a poor choice for some households
Unfortunately this battery does not work with my Roomba 980. I've tried this and one other third party battery with no luck. Roomba asks to "check if battery is installed correctly".
Pros
I had a old battery. For me it was a good upgrade .
Cons
The product may not come with clear instructions for installation or use
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! It does not work right with the charging system. I have 2 roomba 980’s and the robot does not like these batteries. Keeps giving charging system errors. Robot will sit on charger all night, deploy and run for only 1 min before the red battery light comes on and it goes back to its charger. I returned the first battery and They sent me a replacement. The replacement did the same thing. So I broke down and ordered 2 new genuine batteries from Roomba company and now the…
Pros
Everything works great. It last almost an hour for a full charge.
Cons
The replacement process may be difficult or even dangerous for the average user
I have an older iRobot vacuum and it needed an overhaul. The battery wouldn't hold a charge for mor than 7-10 minutes so I order a new battery and a few parts and it is as good as new.
Pros
It works like new!
Cons
The battery may not last as long as advertised, leading to costly and frequent replacements
This battery worked great for about a week. After that, it routinely said charging error after being on the charger and now won’t take a charge at all.Unfortunately, don’t waste your money.
Pros
I will get many years of service out of this battery.
Cons
The battery may not fit all models of the iRobot Roomba, despite being marketed as universal
Only had it for two weeks, the battery appears to have a slow discharge rate than the standard Ni-Cad. Just need to reset the roomba otherwise battery charging will throw a charging error 3. I no longer need to keep the battery trickle charging while idling and still lasts 2 cleaning cycles with battery green indicator light.
Pros
Easy to install. Works beautifully
Cons
The battery may not hold a charge as long as the original Roomba battery
