Hoover RVC0010 Replacement Battery 6V 3300mAh 35601130

Hoover RVC0010 / RVC0011 / RB001 — 6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (35601130)

This is a 6V 3300mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Hoover RVC0010, RVC0011, and RB001 robotic vacuum cleaners. It matches the OEM part number 35601130 and fits directly into the battery bay of these models. Capacity is rated at 3300mAh (19.8Wh), matching the original specification.

• RVC0010, RVC0011, and RB001 compatibility: These three models share the same 6V battery platform, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol — which is why a single cell fits all three without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this battery through charge and discharge cycles on the RVC0010 chassis. The BMS accepted the cell without faulting, drew current correctly at motor start, and held voltage within spec under sustained suction load across both hard floor and carpet modes.
• Dock charging habit on robotic vacuums: Do not leave the RVC0010 sitting on the charging dock permanently between uses. Continuous trickle charge from the dock degrades Ni-MH cell capacity significantly faster than charge-when-depleted cycles. Charge fully, then remove the unit from the dock until the next cleaning session.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low on the RVC0010

Ni-MH cells under sustained motor load can sag in voltage before the onboard indicator registers a low battery state. On the RVC0010, this shows up as noticeably weaker suction — especially on carpet — while the indicator still reads mid-charge. The root cause is voltage sag under draw, not actual capacity loss. If the filter is partially blocked, the motor compensates by pulling more current, which accelerates the sag. Clean the filter first, then test under load — voltage should hold above 5.4V during a full cleaning cycle.

Motor cutting out mid-cycle and then recovering on its own

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a failed battery. When suction is restricted — blocked filter, tangled brush roll, or debris jam — the motor draws current beyond the BMS threshold and the protection circuit cuts power to prevent cell damage. The BMS resets after a short pause, which is why the unit appears to recover on its own. This cycle will repeat and shorten cell life if the restriction is not cleared. Remove the brush roll, check the filter, and clear any blockage before running another cycle.
