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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXV-11, XV-12, XV-15, and All Floor compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDock charging discipline for the XV series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSuction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRobot cuts out mid-clean and restarts after sitting for a minute\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43428053123162,"sku":"BWCS-NVX120VX-1","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43428053155930,"sku":"BWCS-NVX120VX-2","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43428053188698,"sku":"BWCS-NVX120VX-3","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/neato-xv-12-replacement-battery-72v-3500mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
