Dyson V7: What does LED color mean on the Dyson V7 REPLACEMENT battery?

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 15:16:57 -0700

I just bought a Dyson V7 battery from ifixit. The LED color is different from the original battery. What do the different LED colors/blink patterns mean on the replacement battery? E.g., what color means it's charging & what color means it's finished charging & what color means the battery is low & needs charging. Thank you.

Dyson V7: Battery used only once, doesn't recharge

Sat, 02 Oct 2021 05:31:42 -0700

I ordered this battery to replace the dead one on my Dyson V7 vacuum. Came when the package said it would arrive. A little weird to install; the screws don’t fit too well but if you open the bucket you can screw it in successfully.

I did as the instructions said: I installed the battery, charged it to 100% then waited 2 hours. I ran the vacuum until the battery ran out. All is well. UNTIL! I put the vacuum back on the hook in order to recharge back to 100% to calibrate the battery (as per the ifixit instructions on the website). My vacuum is now blinking red and won’t recharge. What the heck?! I chose ifixit beacuse I’ve used your products before.

What can I do to make sure my vacuum recharges and works correctly??

PS - Anyone reading this, you can get the official battery from Dyson and install it yourself with the guide on this website. Though it’s more expensive, it’s a better option getting the official product.

Dyson V7: Replacement battery for Dyson v7 stuck with green LED on, not working

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:32:48 -0700

The replacement battery for my Dyson v7 seems to be stuck in a non-working state with a green LED on. The battery is a bit warm. This has been going on for the last several hours.

I’ve removed the battery from the vacuum and it remains in this state. It had been working for the last few days, since installation.

Is there any way to get the battery working again?

Dyson V7: Why does my Dyson v7 motor not power the head

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 04:06:15 -0700

Ive checked the head, the wand, the bin. All these parts are working correctly. The motor appears to run fine on min and max but won’t power anything. Ie the roller won’t spin. But the vacuum still sucks air.

Have stripped down the actual connector and found the wires in Y shaped grooves broken but taking it apart further then forgot how the wires were routed after they split again at the top where they then are located around the top to re-join the wire in the extension wand

Dyson V7: How do I put the head back down?

Sun, 01 May 2022 09:40:57 -0700

Because the unit is pulsing I took it apart to clean everything. In the process I lifted the head (the unit holding the filter) and now it will not go back to it's property position.

Dyson V7: Why does my Dyson V7 stop when on Max, and work again after quick plug

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 07:31:38 -0700

Hello,

My Dyson V7 motorhead origin always stops, not pulsating, it just stops working when I set it to MAX and use it just 1 second. It stops and the blue LED blinks.

To fix it, I simply put it on charge, even just 1 second, then I can use it with the MIN setting.

It seems that the device goes into a sort of security mode, and charging it unlocks the security.

When set on MIN it works just fine, the battery last long.
I tried to clean it and to change the filters, but it still does not work on MAX.

I am wondering if changing the battery could help, however, the battery seem to hold the charge pretty well.

Any thoughts?

Dyson V7: Dyson V7 any way to run wall powered since battery life is so bad?

Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:39:20 -0700

Dyson stick vacuums have terrible battery life on Max mode, even with new batteries. I can’t even do half my house at once. I would like to run it off wall voltage. However if you insert the plug into the vacuum even if the other end isn’t plugged into the wall it will not run. Is there any hack or workaround? If it could run straight off the wall transformer I wouldn’t need to buy a new vacuum.

it injested what i think is a piece of popcorn. the motor almost instantly shut down on a full battery charge and would not restart. basic tear down/reassemble revealed nothing obviously stuck/broken. Now what?
