Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Neato XV-12 / XV-15 / XV-11 Series — 7.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (945-0006)
This is a 7.2V, 3500mAh Ni-MH battery for the Neato XV-12, XV-15, XV-11, and All Floor robotic vacuum cleaners. It replaces OEM part numbers 945-0006, 945-0005, 205-0001, and 945-0024. The battery powers the drive motors, brush motor, sensors, and LIDAR navigation system.
- XV-11, XV-12, XV-15, and All Floor compatibility: These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and 7.2V supply rail. The BMS handshake is identical across the range, so one cell fits all without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on an XV-12 unit. The BMS accepted the charge without fault codes, voltage held steady under combined motor and sensor load, and the dock recognised the battery correctly on return.
- Dock charging discipline for the XV series: Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the dock between every run. The XV charger delivers a trickle current indefinitely — Ni-MH cells degrade significantly faster under continuous trickle charge. Charge to full, then remove the robot from the dock until the next use.
Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low
The XV-12 allocates voltage across the brush motor, drive motors, and sensors simultaneously. When the filter is partially blocked, the brush motor draws above its rated current and pulls the pack voltage down faster than the indicator reflects. The indicator reads cell state-of-charge, not available power under load — so suction weakens while the display still shows mid-charge. Clean or replace the filter first before attributing the symptom to battery fade.
Robot cuts out mid-clean and restarts after sitting for a minute
This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. A sustained blockage — packed filter, tangled brush roll, or carpet fibre caught in the intake — forces the motor to draw beyond the BMS threshold. The BMS disconnects the cell to protect it, the robot stops, and the pack recovers once current demand drops. Clear the blockage, check the filter, and restart. If the cutout repeats on a clean filter, measure resting pack voltage — it should read above 8.0V fully charged on a Ni-MH 6-cell pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
My XV-12 finishes cleaning cycles fine at first but after a few weeks the robot stops halfway through — filter is clean, what's wrong?
Shallow cycling is the most likely cause. If the robot docks after every short run and recharges from 70–80% rather than running down fully, Ni-MH cells develop a reduced effective capacity over time — often called voltage depression. Run the battery down until the robot stops due to low charge, then charge fully in one go. Repeat this full discharge-charge cycle two or three times and capacity usually recovers. If it doesn't recover, the original cell is genuinely degraded and needs replacing.
The XV-12 suction feels weak on carpet even when the battery shows full — is the replacement battery the problem?
Probably not the battery. On carpet, the brush motor load spikes well above its hard-floor draw, and a partially restricted filter multiplies that spike further. The pack voltage sags under that load before the indicator catches up, so suction drops while the display still reads full. Remove and tap out the filter, check the brush roll for wrapped fibres, and clear the intake port. If suction returns to normal after that, the battery was fine — the restriction was the cause.
The XV-12 won't charge after I fitted the replacement — dock light stays off and the robot shows no charge activity.
The XV-series dock expects the battery's internal thermistor circuit to be active before it releases charge current. If the thermistor pin isn't making contact — either a slightly misaligned battery seating or a connector issue — the charger won't start. Remove the battery, reseat it firmly until it clicks, and return the robot to the dock. If the dock light still doesn't respond, check the dock pins are clean and making full contact with the robot's charge terminals. Voltage at the dock output pins should read approximately 9V DC when the robot is not present.
