Gorenje SVC144XX Replacement Battery 14.4V 2000mAh

Gorenje SVC144XX — 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (861788)

This is a 14.4V 2000mAh Li-ion battery pack for the Gorenje SVC144XX cordless stick vacuum. It replaces OEM part 861788 and restores power to the vacuum's motor and suction system. Capacity figure is sourced from the product specification, not estimated.

• SVC144XX platform fit: The SVC144XX uses a 14.4V Li-ion pack with a specific cell configuration and BMS communication that the charger handshakes with before initiating a charge cycle. This replacement matches that voltage rail and connector orientation exactly.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran the battery through a full charge cycle and load test on the SVC144XX motor draw profile. The BMS held charge correctly, responded to the charger handshake, and sustained voltage under simulated suction load without tripping overcurrent protection.
• Dock charging habit on this vacuum: Do not leave the SVC144XX sitting on the charging dock permanently. The charger does not fully terminate once the pack is topped up. Continuous low-level charge current degrades cell capacity faster than regular charge-and-remove cycles. Charge when depleted, then unplug.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low on the SVC144XX

This happens when the motor draws more current than the BMS expects under restricted airflow. A partially blocked filter forces the motor to work harder, pulling higher amperage and causing the BMS to reduce output voltage early as a protective response. The suction drop feels like a dying battery, but the pack itself is not the root cause. Clean or replace the filter first — if suction recovers and holds, the battery was not the problem.

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

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a failed cell. When the SVC144XX motor sustains a high-draw condition — usually from a blockage or a clogged filter — the BMS cuts output to protect the cells, then resets once temperature or current drops. The vacuum comes back on because the BMS self-resets after the trip clears. Clear any blockage, clean the filter, and confirm the battery rests at or above 14.0V before the next use cycle.
