It fits models AC446101, AC446101\/2D1, AC444101\/2D0, and several additional variants sharing the same battery bay. OEM part number RS-AC3429 confirms direct fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinivac Extenso platform fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These AC-series models share the same 4.8V Ni-MH cell configuration, connector pitch, and motor driver circuit. Swapping to a mismatched voltage risks tripping the motor controller — this cell matches the original spec exactly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this battery through charge and discharge on the Minivac motor circuit. The BMS held stable under suction load across hard floor and upholstery modes with no unexpected shutdowns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDock charging behaviour on the Minivac:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the dock after the charge cycle completes. The Minivac charger does not terminate automatically on all firmware versions — continuous trickle current degrades Ni-MH cells faster than normal cycling. Charge fully, then remove.\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\"\u003eNi-MH cells show a flat voltage curve for most of their discharge, then drop sharply at end of charge. If the Minivac's suction weakens well before any low-battery indicator, the cause is almost always voltage sag under motor load — not total capacity loss. A partially blocked filter forces the motor to draw more current than rated, accelerating that sag. Clean or replace the filter first, then retest at full charge before assuming the battery is at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eMotor cuts out mid-use and then recovers after a few seconds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. When the filter or intake is restricted, motor current spikes above the cell's rated discharge threshold and the protection circuit opens. The pack recovers once current drops — which is why the vacuum restarts after a brief pause. Clear the blockage at the nozzle or filter housing first. If cutouts continue on an unblocked machine, check that the cell voltage reads at least 4.5V under load before suspecting a faulty replacement cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43427958915162,"sku":"BWCS-RTC342VX-1","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43427958947930,"sku":"BWCS-RTC342VX-2","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43427958980698,"sku":"BWCS-RTC342VX-3","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-RTC342VX-1.webp?v=1779933588","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/rowenta-minivac-extenso-48v-replacement-battery-48v-2000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
