Dyson stick not holding charge

[LemondropSnowdrop]

It's old so no surprises really!

Time to change and get a new one I guess.

Do I replace with the latest version or switch it up with a market equivalent?

Looking for recommendations please.

Depends how old I guess. I replaced the battery on mine which is over 10 years old and it's as good as new now.

@Tessi - can you replace the battery? Is it as simple as that? Scurrying away now to look into it - thanks

Urgh - just looked, it looks like my model is too old.

Gave you tried eBay for replacement batteries

Oh dear - maybe ebay might help, but there does come a time.......................
when it's just got to go I guess. I regularly change the filters on mine and that always makes a huge difference and I tap it hard against something outside to get all the dust out.

Ebay batteries for all the different models here:

You can replace the battery as long as the rest is sound. Ours has started to haemorrhage bits of plastic so in the end I bought a new one (went for a Henry Quick which has a much longer battery life).

We were about to throw out our handheld Dyson, then decided to try one of the non branded Dyson compatible batteries off Amazon.

Works like a dream, it's now more powerful than it was originally. It came with a replacement filter as well. Thinking about it, we've had the replacement ages now, and still working well.

I've replaced a couple of cordless Dysons over the years. Never gone for the very latest, they are always the most expensive (bit like iPhones!) and have been very happy!
