for Dyson V7V8 for Dewalt 20V60V Battery Adapter,for Dyson V7V8 Series V7V8 Absolute V7V8 Animal V7V8 Fluffy V7V8 Motorhead

I was hesitant to purchase because I read a few reviews saying the vacuum would work for a few seconds then the light would flash red and it would stop working.I believe there’s even a review with a video showing this.Nevertheless, I decided to go ahead and make the purchase.Much to my dismay, after installing this into my V8 animal (fits great btw) I plugged in one of my knock off six amp hour DeWalt batteries and pulled the trigger only to experience the same issue of the vacuum running for a few seconds, then flashing red and turning off.Now, If you’re like me, you keep your power tools in the garage and therefore probably charge your batteries there as well.It’s January here in northern Utah and probably 30°F in the garage. More on this later.Frustrated, I left the battery and vacuum cleaner in the kitchen for a while and took a well deserved break from my struggles.After about 30 minutes, I came back and decided to give the vacuum another try.This time, to my pleasant surprise, it worked, but still the charge indicator light on the adapter would go from green to red while continuing to run.Red means the battery is almost out of power. But I knew my battery pack was fully charged.Then the thought occurred to me, lithium, polymer batteries don’t like being cold.So I took my battery and placed it on one of my heater vents in the house for another 20 minutes or so to let it warm up.Then I plugged it back into the vacuum and voilà, no issues at all!To further put my mind at ease, I googled “Dyson battery cold” and found this on the Dyson website:“Store your vacuum at room temperature.Heat sources, such as radiators, can damage the battery. We recommend that you store your vacuum at temperatures between 18°C–28°C, away from direct sunlight and out of utility closets.Let it cool, but not too much.You can preserve the life of your battery by letting your machine cool down after use – before connecting it back up to the dock to recharge.Your machine won’t operate or charge if the room temperature is below 37°F. This is designed to protect both the motor and battery.”So there you have it. I went from thinking I would leave this a one star review and send the product back to learning something and leaving a five star review.There is nothing wrong with the product, just make sure your batteries aren’t cold.Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It works if connected properly I only vacuum on max now on a two day charge of 6 vacuum a day easy to install

Great item.I had one other Dyson vacuum that the battery had gone bad and the replacement batteries were now worth a crap.For my second Dyson I was told about The Dewalt replacement setup!Best thing ever. I was about ready to give up on having a Dyson cordless vacuum, until my son showed me this.

Doesn’t work well. Dewalt battery has full charge but will not power the vacuum. A waste of money

Like everyone else who has a Dyson, the battery dies too quick and are to expensive to replace. I bought this adapter after seeing a Tik Tok video and couldn’t be happier. It was easy to install (even if you’re not super Mr is Mrs Fix-It) and worked right from get go. Instructions were a little weak but a Google search for install help made it a breeze. I would buy another if I had another Dyson that needed help!

Heavy batteries make the vacuum fall over easier. The adapter broke once when it fell, but we were able to glue it back together. Great bring able to use better batteries than Dyson provides, though.

The original battery was no longer doing the trick and maybe lasted for 20 seconds on high. Easy to switch with only 3 screws. It’s great it came with a new filter so I can always have a fresh one ready after washing the current one. I would assume that some of the issues people mention are because of a clogged dirty filter. I used one of my 10 AH batteries to do all the cleaning I wanted on high without running out of juice. If it lasts, it’s well worth the purchase.

As many other had bought a knock off replacement battery and it died. Easy to install and seems to work really well with the dewalt batteries. Have a bunch of them for my tools so this was a no brainer.
