Ikohs Create Netbot S23 14.4V Replacement Battery 2600mAh

Ikohs Create Netbot S23 — 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (ICR18650-4S)

This is a 14.4V Li-ion battery pack rated at 2600mAh (37.44Wh), built to the ICR18650-4S cell configuration. It fits the Ikohs Create Netbot S23 robotic vacuum cleaner. Voltage and connector match the original spec — no modification needed.

• Netbot S23 fitment: The S23 runs a 14.4V nominal rail with a 4S cell arrangement. This pack matches that architecture exactly, including the BMS communication the vacuum's control board expects during power-on handshake.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated full discharge-to-charge sequences and verified the BMS held cutoff thresholds correctly under both idle draw and simulated motor load. Cell balance remained within spec across all cycles.
• Dock charging behaviour on the S23: The Netbot S23 charges via a contact dock that supplies continuous current when the robot is seated. Remove the robot from the dock once the charge indicator shows full — the S23 does not cut dock power automatically, and cells left on permanent trickle charge lose usable capacity faster than those cycled properly.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low

The Netbot S23 motor draws significantly more current when airflow is restricted — a partially blocked filter or brush roll forces the motor to work harder, pulling amps beyond the battery's sustained output rating. The BMS reads this as an overcurrent condition and steps down output voltage before the fuel gauge registers a low charge state. The result is audible suction loss while the indicator still shows mid-charge. Clear the filter and brush roll first; if suction recovers immediately, the battery is not the fault.

Motor cutting out mid-run and then recovering after a few seconds

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. When sustained suction restriction drives current above the pack's rated threshold, the BMS opens the discharge circuit to protect the cells — the robot stops, then restarts once the BMS resets. On a degraded original battery, the trip threshold is hit more easily because aged cells sag further under load. A fresh pack at full charge will hold voltage more firmly, but the trip will still occur if the filter is blocked. Check that the filter is clean and the brush roll is clear before concluding the battery is at fault.
