iHome iHRV2 Replacement Battery 14.4V 2600mAh Li-Ion

iHome iHRV2 / Eclipse AutoVac / iHRV4-GRY — 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This is a 14.4V 2600mAh (37.44Wh) lithium-ion battery for the iHome iHRV2, Eclipse AutoVac, and iHRV4-GRY cordless handheld vacuum cleaners. It replaces the original cell when capacity has faded or the pack no longer holds a usable charge. Voltage and connector match the original so the charger and motor controller see no difference.

• iHRV2, Eclipse AutoVac, iHRV4-GRY compatibility: These three models share the same 14.4V motor rail, battery bay dimensions, and connector pinout — 70 × 38 × 38mm pack geometry fits all three without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through repeated load cycles on a 14.4V motor test rig. The BMS held stable under normal suction loads and tripped correctly when we forced a sustained overcurrent condition, then reset cleanly on the next charge cycle.
• Dock charging practice for the iHRV2: Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the charging dock permanently. Continuous dock charge on these vacuums causes capacity fade faster than cycling from depleted to full. Charge to full, then remove it from the dock.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low

The iHRV2 motor draws more current when airflow is restricted — a partially blocked filter forces the motor to work harder than rated. Under that extra draw, cell voltage sags early and the motor slows before the indicator LED registers low. The vacuum feels like it's running out of charge when it isn't. Clean the filter first and check for blockage in the nozzle path — suction should recover immediately if the battery is in good condition.

Motor cutting out mid-use and recovering after a few seconds

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. It happens when the motor draws sustained high current — usually from a blocked filter or jammed nozzle — and the BMS shuts the pack down to protect the cells. The pack resets automatically once current drops, which is why the vacuum starts again after a short pause. Clear the blockage, charge the pack to at least 12.5V resting voltage, and the trips should stop.
