Infinuvo CleanMate QQ1 Replacement Battery 14.4V NS280D67C00RT

Infinuvo CleanMate QQ1 / QQ2 Series — 14.4V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (NS280D67C00RT)

This is a 14.4V, 2800mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Infinuvo CleanMate QQ1 and QQ2 series robot vacuums. It fits the CleanMate QQ2, QQ2 Basic, CleanMate 365, and at least fourteen additional CleanMate variants sharing the same NS280D67C00RT specification. Verify your model number before ordering — the connector and voltage rail must match exactly.

• CleanMate QQ1 / QQ2 platform compatibility: These models share a common 14.4V power rail, the same NS280D67C00RT connector format, and a BMS that communicates charge state back to the dock controller. Swapping to a different voltage or connector type will trigger a dock fault or prevent charging entirely.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a CleanMate QQ2 dock. The BMS handshake completed correctly, charge acceptance was normal, and the overcurrent protection tripped as expected under a simulated blocked-motor load — then reset cleanly once load was removed.
• Dock charging discipline for Ni-MH cells: Do not leave the CleanMate sitting on the dock between uses. Ni-MH chemistry is sensitive to continuous trickle current — the kind a robot vacuum dock applies indefinitely after a full charge. Charge to full, then lift the unit off the dock until the next scheduled clean.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low on the CleanMate QQ1

The CleanMate's motor draws significantly more current when suction is restricted — a partially clogged filter can push draw well above the rated idle current. Under that load, a degraded Ni-MH cell's voltage sags early, and the robot interprets the voltage drop as low battery rather than a blockage. The suction weakens or the unit docks itself prematurely even though the charge indicator hasn't moved. Clean or replace the filter first — if suction recovers and early docking stops, the battery was masking a filter problem, not failing on its own.

CleanMate motor cuts out mid-cycle and then restarts on its own

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dying battery. When the motor is under sustained restricted load — a jammed brush roll, a thick rug edge, or a blocked inlet — current spikes past the BMS threshold and it disconnects the cell to protect it. The unit goes quiet, sits for a few seconds, then restarts once the BMS resets. Clear the brush roll and inlet, then confirm cell voltage is at or above 14.4V after a full charge. If the trips continue on a clear path, the motor bearings may be drawing excess current at end of life.
