Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot Advanced Power System Ni-MH Battery, 3000 mAh, 80501
Customer Review: Fake battery specifications
Summary: 1 Stars
Although the battery works, it's not a 3000 mAh battery, neither it's an official iRobot battery (the item name drives to confussion).
I think that amazon.com must block this kind of items/sellers that try to lure the buyer.
As I said, the battery works, but it doesn't lasts as much per clean cycle as the original iRobot battery.
I don't recommend it at all.
Customer Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Great battery for the money. Works better and lasts longer than my original Roomba battery ever did. I even ran my old Roomba that I had purchased this battery for against a newly purchased Roomba with a factory battery. My old Roomba with this replacement battery ran 3x longer than the brand new one!Customer Review: Generic & It Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this battery to give my Roomba new life. After ordering the unit refurbished, it never seemed to have the 'oomph' of a new one. I mean, it barely cleaned two rooms.
After checking on iRobot's website for the correct model battery and MSRP, I decided to shop around for the best price. That's when I stumbled across this battery at almost half of the price of iRobot. After carefully reading the reviews and seeing people get upset about it being generic, I decided to take a chance. It was the best chance I took at renewing my Roomba's life!
This battery runs for almost an hour-and-a-half, which allows the Roomba to clean the living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room all in one swoop. This is approximately 750 square feet with lots of obstacles!
All-in-all it's a great battery and would purchase it again in a heart beat! It's been in the Roomba for almost a month now and has ran every day since.
Customer Review: Generic battery but works well
Summary: 5 Stars
There seems to be a variety of experiences with this battery, and I wanted to relate my experience with purchasing it.
I was shipped a generic Roomba 500 battery by "Allergy Be Gone". I think unless you buy directly from Amazon (for about 2x the price), this is what you will get. When I installed the battery, I found that it was keyed so you could only install it in one direction - it wasn't possible to install the battery backwards. It was really easy to install, requiring only a Philips head screwdriver. My Roomba then charged up in a very short period of time, and it now runs for 2+ hours. The battery charges fine using either the charging station or when plugged in directly.
I think "Allergy Be Gone" sells a higher quality battery than "Battery Superstore" sells. Reviews that mention Battery Superstore seem to be lower than other sellers, so I would recommend being careful about who you buy this from.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase since it saved me some $$$, but I wish ALL the sellers were clearer as to whether they are selling a generic battery or a iRobot branded battery.
FYI: iRobot has a video showing you how to install a battery on a 500-Series Roomba on their website.
Customer Review: Good Product

Second battery I bought (2 machines). Roomba runs longer by about 50% in both applications. Better than original equipment.
