Veluce Vivo 14.4V Ni-MH Replacement Battery 3000mAh

Veluce Vivo — 14.4V Ni-MH 3000mAh Replacement Battery

This is a 14.4V Ni-MH battery rated at 3000mAh (43.2Wh), built as a direct replacement for the Veluce Vivo cordless vacuum cleaner. It slots into the Vivo's battery bay and restores suction power to a unit that's lost capacity or won't hold charge. No OEM part number exists for this cell, but fit and voltage match the original Vivo specification.

• Vivo platform compatibility: The Vivo runs on a 14.4V rail matched to this cell's nominal output. The motor controller expects this voltage window — too low and suction drops before the indicator registers empty. This cell holds the rail steady under normal floor and carpet loads.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through repeated full discharge and charge passes on the Vivo platform. The BMS handled motor start current without tripping, and voltage recovery between passes was consistent with rated capacity.
• Dock charging on Ni-MH cells: Remove the Vivo from its charging dock once the charge completes. Ni-MH chemistry degrades faster under continuous trickle charge than Li-ion does. Charge only when the battery is genuinely depleted, then remove from the dock.

Cordless vacuum losing suction before battery indicator reaches low

Ni-MH cells show a relatively flat discharge curve, but under high motor load — thick carpet, a partially blocked filter, or a tangled brush roll — the pack voltage sags faster than the indicator tracks. The indicator reads state of charge at rest voltage, not under load. A clogged filter forces the motor to draw more current than rated, which accelerates voltage sag and makes the vacuum feel weak while the indicator still shows half charge. Clean or replace the filter first, then test suction — a clean filter drops motor draw back into the normal range.

Motor cuts out mid-clean then recovers after a few seconds

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. When suction is restricted — blocked hose, full dust bin, compressed filter — the motor draws sustained high current trying to maintain airflow. The BMS reads this as an overcurrent condition and cuts power to protect the cell. After a few seconds the BMS resets and the motor restarts. Check the bin, filter, and hose before assuming the battery is faulty. If cut-outs stop after clearing the blockage, the cell is working correctly.
