Taurus Striker Slim 079748 Replacement Battery 14.4V 800mAh

Taurus Striker Slim — 14.4V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (079748000)

This is a 14.4V, 800mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Taurus Striker Slim 079748 and Robot Aspirador Striker Slim cordless handheld vacuum. It replaces OEM part 079748000 and restores suction power when the original cell can no longer hold a usable charge. Dimensions are 99.00 × 42.50 × 28.65mm — confirm these against your existing pack before fitting.

• Striker Slim 079748 and Robot Aspirador Striker Slim: Both models run the same 14.4V cell pack with the same connector and BMS configuration, which is why a single replacement covers both. Voltage rail and physical footprint are identical across the range.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated draw profiles matching the Striker Slim motor load. The BMS held cutoff voltage correctly and recovered cleanly from partial discharge states without needing a reset.
• Dock charging habit on the Striker Slim: Do not leave this vacuum on the charging dock permanently. Ni-MH cells in cordless vacuums develop capacity fade significantly faster under continuous trickle charge. Charge to full, then remove from the dock until the next use.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low

This is one of the most common complaints on the Striker Slim and it is rarely the battery alone. A partially blocked filter forces the motor to draw more current than rated, which causes voltage to sag earlier in the discharge cycle. The result is reduced suction well before the indicator warns you. Clean or replace the filter first — if suction recovers immediately after, the cell still has usable capacity. If the problem continues on a clean filter with a fresh cell, the motor brushes are the next checkpoint.

Motor cuts out mid-clean then recovers after a short pause

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. When suction is restricted — blocked nozzle, saturated filter, or a tight carpet pile — the motor pulls above the BMS threshold and the pack shuts the circuit to protect the cells. Waiting a few seconds allows the BMS to reset and the motor restarts. Clearing the blockage and cleaning the filter breaks the cycle. If trips continue on a fully clear airpath, check that pack voltage under load stays above 12V — a cell dropping below that threshold under load needs replacement.
