Brought new life to my Roomba Discovery

After having my roomba for about 2 years, the battery got to the point where it only lasted about 10 minutes per charge. After trying the method by another reviewer to extend its life (a method which, for me, didn't do anything), I decided to fork out the money to buy a new one.
I couldn't be happier with my decision. Since replacing the battery, it's like I have a brand new roomba again. Rather than 10 minutes, it can go a few hours at a time before it gives up and goes to its dock for a recharge. |

| This is the first replacement I had to purchase for my Roomba Discovery. I have had the Roomba since Christmas 2006 which was a good two years of running the Roomba 5-6 days a week. I recently acquired (2) Dogs, Rott & Lab so the Roomba has been working over time picking up the hair before the battery life started to wane. I did try re setting and that gave me some shelf life, but alas it was time for a new battery- well worth the money! |

| Worked perfectly after a 24 hour charge with the unit plugged in- not on the platform. Charging with the AC allows for a little over 2 hours of use- whereas on the docking base- about an hour. |

| This was the best price I found for the new battery.You would think iRobot could give a better deal on their own product but they don't. Amazon.com seems to have everyone beat on price and free shipping. |
Battery works as advertised so far

| My battery in my original roomba had died - it would not charge any more. I was actually going to buy a new roomba when I saw this battery replacement instead. It is much heavier and denser than the original battery so I am looking for long life out of this battery. I charged it overnight when I first got it. So far it lasts long enough for the roomba to go through the longest cycle for a large room. I recommend the APS (Advanced Power System) battery - I think it will give the best life. |
