Electropan iLife V5 Replacement Battery 11.1V 2600mAh

Electropan iLife V5 / V5s — 11.1V Li-ion Replacement Battery (ICP 186500-22F-M-3S1P-S)

This 11.1V 2600mAh (28.86Wh) lithium-ion battery replaces the original cell in the iLife V5 and V5s robotic vacuum cleaners. It fits the three-cell series pack configuration used across both V5 variants. Swap it in when the original no longer holds enough charge to complete a full cleaning cycle.

• V5 and V5s shared cell platform: Both models run the same 3S1P cell arrangement with a matched 11.1V nominal rail and an identical connector and BMS handshake — one battery covers either unit without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on the V5 platform. The BMS engaged over-current protection correctly under a simulated blocked-brush load and recovered cleanly once the restriction was cleared.
• Dock charging habit on the V5: The V5 and V5s dock does not cut trickle charge once full. Leave the robot on the dock between every session and the cell degrades significantly faster. Charge to full, then lift it off the dock until the next scheduled run.

Cordless vacuum losing suction before the battery indicator reaches low

This happens because the motor is pulling more current than rated — usually from a partially blocked filter or a tangle around the brush roll. The BMS reads the elevated draw as a voltage sag event and throttles output before the indicator registers a low-battery state. The vacuum feels like it is running out of charge when the actual cell voltage is still above 10V. Clear the filter and check the brush roll before concluding the battery is at fault.

Motor cuts out mid-cycle and then restarts on its own

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead cell. When suction is restricted — blocked filter, debris jam, or hair packed around the axle — the motor draws a sustained spike above the BMS threshold and the pack shuts output to protect the cells. The BMS resets after a few seconds once the draw drops, which is why the vacuum appears to self-recover. Clean the filter first; if the cut-outs continue on a clear filter, check cell voltage under load — a healthy cell should hold above 9.9V at rated draw.
