Hi everybody,
I bought one of these and the batteries are a disaster with them. I have a second dud battery now and I'm just about to throw the thing in the bin.
The battery is rated 21.6V and supplies up to 16A. I connected two 12V lead acid batteries in series to test the motor - the dyson starts and then stops after two seconds. I'm not sure why, maybe it is the overvoltage protection or maybe the batteries can't supply the required current.
I'm just wondering if I put two lead acid car batteries (which would have the required current capacity) in series for 24V, drop down to 21.6V using high current diodes (in case the 24V is too much), would it do the job? Has anybody toyed around with powering with an alternative power source? Obviously I would have to carry around the car batteries but I would just put together a Ghostbusters type carry bag, so this would not be an issue.
