Will not work with 980

If you need a new battery for your Roomba 980, do not buy it as a replacement. My current battery is a standard battery, about 3 years old and longer than this battery. This battery gave me half of what the old battery does and then just died. It was also quite warm, although I don't know how hot the LiPo was. It's frustrating when the description specifically mentions the 980 but clearly has never been tested with it. This is the only reason I am leaving this review. Please don't repeat the same mistake. You need a lithium battery backup, not a nickel-metal hydride battery. Apparently you can't increase the capacity either (according to other battery reviews) since it's programmed to a specific maximum battery capacity.
