I highly recommend Battery Superstore.

When I purchased this product I was disappointed to find it was not an iRobot battery. I wrote to Battery Superstore and they immediately changed the listing so there is no doubt.

I respect their honesty. I also like their battery.

I replaced three original batteries with the Tenergy Replacement Battery and have been very pleased with the result. We use our Roombas daily and they complete their assigned tasks with battery to spare.

My Roomba was suffering - it would clean about 10 minutes and then start looking for its dock. Most times, it would simply stop in the middle of cleaning and decide it was too tired to even return home. This battery is an excellent replacement, and my Roomba now lasts longer than it did when new, cleaning my entire main floor before returning, when it was only sufficient for about 2/3ds of the floor when new...

I got this battery for my 562. It runs better than original and was less expensive. Wouldn't hesitate to get another when the time comes.

I waited a few months before writing this review, to really give this battery a good test in my Roomba 530. I've generally had bad experiences with cheap 3rd party batteries, but this one has worked great. In fact, it seems to work even better than the original Roomba battery - it seems to be running longer than ever before, and the running time has been steady after several months of use. I highly recommend this battery.

I found that these batteries work BETTER than the one that came with my Roomba! DON'T BUY THE ORIGINAL, get these. After reading the specs, I noticed these have more power than my original and they allow my Roomba to run about 30 to 45 minutes longer than my new original, and they're cheaper. I will only buy these from here on out.

I purchased this Tenergy battery from Battery Superstore. It has been in use for more than a month now with my Roomba 530 running for an hour or more one or two times a week. So far I haven't exhausted the battery on any of the cleaning missions!

The battery has been performing as well or better than the original battery (when new) and has been a good value so far.

Wow, saved a bunch of money. This works as good or better than the original battery. My Roomba is ALIVE AGAIN!!

Amazing price compared to manufacturer's battery. Fits my 500 series irobot. First run was over 1 1/2 hrs so their estimate was right on. Not sure what they mean by "50 percent greater useful life than original Roomba batteries"...guessing that means over the lifetime of the battery and that is yet to be determined. But if it continues as is, is a great product for half the price of the original.

I'm fairly satisfied with this battery replacement, after my Roomba's existing battery gave up, even with a power system reset. The packaging was non-descript - brown paper box with a sticker noting the NIMH 14.4V 3500MAH battery. The instruction sheet had an... interesting... translation on it, but the steps to replace the Roomba battery are fairly straightforward. Give it a shot. Cheaper than iRobot's official battery, at least.

Approximately two years ago I replaced the original battery in my Roomba 570 with iRobot's "APS 3000" battery. Supposedly a better battery, it failed to perform as well as the original battery and at last use, I was only getting about twenty minutes of run time before the battery was drained to the point it would no longer power the vacuum. I replaced the "APS 3000" battery in my Roomba 570 about a month ago with this Tenergy battery and it has proven itself to be a far better battery than the iRobot "equivalent" (APS 3000). Now, when I run the Roomba in an area where the docking station is not available, it will do it's job and then shut down with plenty of power left to move it to another area for more cleaning. I never had it do that on an iRobot battery. With iRobot batteries in place, the machine always just ran until the battery was drained. The machine never actually completed a cleaning cycle. This Tenergy battery is an exact replacement as far as physical dimensions are concerned. Simple to change out - just like the iRobot battery but is clearly superior to anything iRobot is selling. Also, the Roomba seems to run stronger(more horsepower & better speed)on the Tenergy battery than it ever did with either of the irobot batteries. Oh, and did I mention it cost about half of what the iRobot APS 3000 battery costs. No more iRobot batteries for me. I want a "Powered by Tenery" decal for my Roomba!
