Gorenje SVC216FS Replacement Battery 22.2V 2000mAh

Gorenje SVC216FS Series — 22.2V Li-ion Replacement Battery (861790)

This is a 22.2V 2000mAh (44.4Wh) Li-ion battery pack for the Gorenje SVC216FS cordless stick vacuum. It also fits the SVC216FGD, SVC216FMB, and SVC216FBKS variants. OEM part number 861790 confirms direct fitment across this model range.

• SVC216 model compatibility: All four models listed share the same 22.2V power rail, connector housing, and BMS handshake protocol. That common architecture means one battery pack covers the full SVC216 lineup without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through full discharge and recharge sequences, checking BMS cutoff behaviour under both normal load and simulated motor restriction. Voltage recovery after cutoff held within spec on every cycle.
• Dock charging practice for SVC216 units: Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the charging dock after a full charge cycle is complete. Gorenje stick vacuums on continuous dock power develop capacity fade faster than units charged only when depleted. Charge fully, then remove from the dock.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low

The SVC216FS motor draws significantly more current when the filter is partially blocked — sometimes double the rated draw. The BMS reads this as a low-voltage sag event and throttles output to protect the cells, even though the state of charge is still reasonably high. The result is reduced suction that looks like a dying battery but is actually a current-limiting response. Clean or replace the filter first and retest before assuming the battery is the fault.

Motor cutting out mid-use and then recovering after a short pause

This pattern is an overcurrent trip — not a dead battery. When sustained suction restriction pushes motor current above the BMS threshold, the pack disconnects output and latches off temporarily. After 30–60 seconds, the BMS resets and power restores. This cycle will repeat on every run if the root cause is not addressed. Clear the brush roll, check the filter, and confirm airflow is unrestricted; the cutoff threshold on this pack is set around 10A continuous draw.
