DC44 Animal type B battery pack | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

Having removed the screw for the TYPE B Battery pack, I can’t remove it from the DC44 Animal Body. Do you think it has become swollen? It is 10 years old. Edward

Hi @Ed Huggins,

Welcome to the Dyson Community!

The DC44 Type B battery is held in place with two screws - one at the rear of the hand grip, and one at the front which you can access by separating the main body from the clear bin and cyclone pack.

From your description I’m wondering if you may have missed the screw at the front?


Yes, I did miss this and it is not even mentioned in the Dyson DC44 manual! Thank you. Edward


Hi @Ed Huggins,

No worries, glad we were able to help you figure it out!
