How do I maximise my Dyson cordless vacuum's battery life? | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

 

We’ve collated some of our top tips to help you optimise the runtime and lifespan of your Dyson cordless vacuum's battery.

 

Maximum power. Only when you need it

  • We recommend only using Max/Boost mode for short bursts of intensive cleaning. Using these modes more regularly can speed up the degradation of your battery.
  • Stick to using Auto, Normal or Eco mode for everyday cleaning. These settings provide more than enough power for day-to-day cleaning, and will also give you a longer runtime.

Avoid use in extreme temperatures

  • Very hot or cold environments can speed up battery ageing. So it's best to avoid cleaning the car in hot weather, or leaving your vacuum in a cold porch or garage.
  • To protect the motor and battery, your Dyson cordless vacuum won’t operate or charge if the ambient temperature is below 3°C (37°F). 

Give it a rest

  • Let the battery run down to empty at least once a month to help prolong its life.
  • If you have a spare battery, swap them out so they both have time to naturally discharge.

 

Genuine Dyson replacements

Only by purchasing and using a genuine Dyson battery are you ensuring your machine continues to work to its full potential. Buying direct from Dyson, you’ll always received a genuine Dyson replacement part.
