Defective Battery - Review contains updates re customer service and replacement battery,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: iRobot Advanced Power System Ni-MH Battery, 3000 mAh, 80501 (Kitchen)
Very disappointed in this product. They describe this as an iRobot battery, and even put a picture of the iRobot battery in the product listing, however, and this should have been obvious from the price, this is NOT an iRobot battery! Now, I'm not an iRobot snob, and I would be perfectly happy with a generic replacement battery, IF IT WORKED! It holds juice, and it will power the Roomba, but upon docking with the home base, I get a one red blink error light (battery problem) and a fast red blink on the charge indicator light (never turns green after charging). I thought this could have been due to the Roomba forcing a deep recharge (16 hour cycle), but I left the Roomba on the home base for 24 hours, took it off, and the Roomba was still indicating it had no charge. I did a reset of the Roomba software (hold down the "spot" and "dock" buttons at the same time for 10 seconds), and only then did the indicator light turn green. As soon as I placed it back on the homebase however, the flashing red lights came back. It's not a problem with the Roomba either, I put the old iRobot battery back in, and the charge indicator light worked like it was supposed to. Until I get a REAL replacement, I'm stuck using my old, dying, iRobot battery... which is still better than the defective, generic battery that was sent by Battery Superstore.
Keep an eye out for an updated review. I have a message into Battery Superstore asking for a replacement of the defective battery they sent me. I will update this review with a review of their support, as well as any replacement they send out. ******UPDATE****** I sent a message to the seller, via the Amazon interface, telling them of the problem with the battery. They were quick to respond, and upon answering a few of their follow up questions, they were quick to process a replacement for the defective battery. I will update this review once I receive the new battery. ******UPDATE****** The battery they sent out to replace the defective battery, is defective as well. Same problems as the first one they sent out. I will be contacting the seller again to see if possibly there was a problem with the entire lot, or if I am just extremely unlucky in the batteries they have been sending me. ****** FINAL UPDATE****** Rather than keep sending me defective batteries, the seller has agreed to refund my money. They even sent a prepaid mailing label for me to return the defective batteries. Overall, I'm disappointed that the product did not work, but I couldn't have been happier with the customer service. I ordered an authentic iRobot battery finally, and it works perfectly.

Generic battery but works well,

This review is from: iRobot Advanced Power System Ni-MH Battery, 3000 mAh, 80501 (Kitchen)
There seems to be a variety of experiences with this battery, and I wanted to relate my experience with purchasing it.
I was shipped a generic Roomba 500 battery by "Allergy Be Gone". I think unless you buy directly from Amazon (for about 2x the price), this is what you will get. When I installed the battery, I found that it was keyed so you could only install it in one direction - it wasn't possible to install the battery backwards. It was really easy to install, requiring only a Philips head screwdriver. My Roomba then charged up in a very short period of time, and it now runs for 2+ hours. The battery charges fine using either the charging station or when plugged in directly. I think "Allergy Be Gone" sells a higher quality battery than "Battery Superstore" sells. Reviews that mention Battery Superstore seem to be lower than other sellers, so I would recommend being careful about who you buy this from. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase since it saved me some $$$, but I wish ALL the sellers were clearer as to whether they are selling a generic battery or a iRobot branded battery. FYI: iRobot has a video showing you how to install a battery on a 500-Series Roomba on their website.

BEWARE OF BATTERY WAREHOUSE, THEY ARE SELLING GENERIC BATTERIES!,
This review is from: iRobot Advanced Power System Ni-MH Battery, 3000 mAh, 80501 (Kitchen)
I was a little skeptical when I saw that Battery Warehouse was selling this battery for $41, when even Amazon.com is selling it for $63.47, and some vendors sell it for as much $90, but I went ahead and took a chance with Battery Warehouse on the battery.
What a mistake that was. When I received my battery and opened it up, I immediately noticed that the sticker indicating that the battery was indeed iRobot genuine was missing. I called Battery Warehouse to inquire if this was a real iRobot battery, and they assured me that it was, but I still had second thoughts about it. After a call to iRobot, we determined that this was in fact a generic battery that was NOT made by iRobot. I was also told that using this battery in my Roomba would void my warranty! Battery Warehouse refused to allow me to return this, so I had to get Amazon to give me an A2Z refund on it. Make sure that you buy this from someone other then Battery Warehouse if you really want to get the item that's pictured. I Will tell EVERYONE I know to STAY AWAY FROM BATTERY WAREHOUSE!
