TenHutt 【3RD-GENERATION】 V8 4.5Ah Replace Battery for V8 Absolute 21.6V Cordless Handhold Vacuum SV10 V8 Fluffy V8 Animal Cord-Free Vacuum Handheld Lithium Battery

I am writing this in May of 2022 - I purchased this battery in Nov. 2019. Now 2 1/2 years later this battery is still going strong. It has lost a little power - it can only run on Max for a minute or so. However, on standard mode, I have not actually ever run the battery dead. I have a 2600 sq/ft house with both hardwood and carpet. I don't know that I've tried to clean the entire house at once. However, I can vacuum the kitchen, bedroom, great room, laundry room and loft and the batter still has 1 or 2 lights on. The original battery went bad after only about a year and I could only vacuum for about 15 to 20 minutes. With this new battery I can vacuum for 30 min. or more. I highly recommend this battery. Thank you

Impressed only for first 8months... now its just another aftermarket battery. After much research, I decided to purchase Tenhutt battery due to mostly high praise of reviews.Our original V8 battery was dying only after 3-4 minutes of use. So I finally found this battery that fit and worked well for first 6months. Then the power retention fell shorter thereafter.Now at 8 months of use, the battery only last 3 minutes. I am hoping to reach out for a warranty replacement as they have advertised. We’ll see how that goes.Overall- decent value but don’t expect it to be an original replacement. It will last only so long.UPDATE: seller honored its 12mo warranty and sent me a replacement battery. Works like new now. Upgrading to 5 stars for great customer service and quick replacement delivery.

I had to struggle to get this battery in as the top screw won't go as far into the handle as when the Dyson battery is installed. Spent too much time trying to overcome this and just gave up.I decided to charge it. From the first time I plugged it into the charger (not the wall charger as I never installed that), 2 of the 3 lights were solid blue. The 3rd was blinking. I decided before using it to charge it overnight. In the morning, the 3rd light is still blinking and never stops blinking.Most annoyingly, the 3 blue lights don't stay on while charging like it does with the Dyson, so I can never know when it becomes fully charged. In less than 10 seconds all the lights go out. Then I plug it in again to see what the lights are doing and that 3rd light remains blinking. I thought maybe I could live with it, but a reviewer said they had this experience, too, before the battery just died.

this isn't some free for review thing. i'm a REAL customer. (second purchase) i did my research to find something suited to our v8 animal (i've included pics so you'll know if this fits yours) and this one seemed to meet my needsseems as good as original factory battery. very easy to install:two screws on the underside near where it meets the collector (easiest if you empty and leave the bin open). one screw on the back of the handle. then just slides right in/out.pretty good life span. especially for the price. this is our second one. the first one started to fail right at about 2 years of use.

I chose this battery after watching the House of Vacuums review on YouTube. They recommended DutyOne, but it was out of stock, and this TenHutt was their 2nd choice.I haven't had it long enough to know how long a life it will have, but so far it works great, and its goes longer between charges than the original Dyson battery did when it was new.I deducted one star for the following reasons:1) There are no installation instructions. However, they are readily available online.2) The 3 lights don't give an indication of how charged the battery is. They flash with the same pattern until the battery is fully charged. The original Dyson battery would increase from 1 to 2 to 3 lights as it charged.3) The hole that the charger connecter goes through is too small, making it difficult to insert the vacuum into the wall mount. The original Dyson battery has a larger hole that is tapered, making inserting into the wall mount much easier.I did not have the power trigger sticking on problem that other reviewers reported.My original Dyson battery lasted 3 1/2 years. I don't know how long this one will last, but I'll update this review if/when it eventually fails.

Seems to be working as expected. I can't compare the original to this one as for how long it lasts since I never kept track of the original's time. All I know is my original was so degraded that it would only last for about 10 minutes. This one lasts long enough for me to do the whole downstairs tile floor (so did the original when it was new) so I never kept track of how much longer it would last.In someone else's review, they mentioned that there was a delay from when you pull the trigger to when it starts. I believe mine has that delay as well. Not a long enough delay to be an issue so if and when this battery starts to fade like my original, I will buy again if it lasts for about two years. I believe that's how long my original lasted.

I own a Dyson-V8-Animal. I decided to replace the original battery even though it still worked. It just seemed to not have much power or last as long.The vac now has more power then before and even lasts longer then with the original battery.As long as this lasts 3-4 years I will be more thrilled!Thanks so very much.

This battery worked really well for us for a year but now suddenly only has about 1/3 the run time it did at the beginning. So a good stopgap for awhile but not a good permanent solution.
