Replacement battery for Aldi robot vacuum

26 Posts
in Techie Stuff
Our Aldi robot vacuum has stopped holding any charge.
I've looked at the battery and it looks user serviceable (as I've detached it) but when searching inline none of the websites show you the connector on replacements so I can't find one that I know will fit.
No amount of searching for an Aldi Easy Home robot vacuum battery has brought up anything.
The existing battery says Ni-MH DC14.4v 2000mAh and its like 12 batteries attached together.
Can anyone advise how I could source this or how I know that I am buying the right sort?
Thank you

The voltage is important and the capacity shouldn't (ideally) be less that what it was before. The chemistry (Ni-MH) should be the same.
Here's a video of someone repairing an Aldi Robot vacuum - is this the same as yours, and is the battery pack (flat green) the same or similar?

Ours is an older model so it's not the same battery.
When you say it's a common battery, do they have standard connectors to the appliance?
I am just worried I'll buy one and it then won't clip into the existing connector.
Thanks

Sorry, I should have been clearer - electrically, it's quite common, but they come in dozens of physical shapes and sizes, and also with different connectors.
If you want help from the forum in spotting a likely replacement, I think we're going to need a photo of the battery and of the connector.
If you can solder then buy tabbed batteries from a reliable source and make your own pack.
Further down there are are several other battery pack styles and I would have thought you might be able to figure out if any look suitable from counting the obvious cells and maybe checking the connector pictures. If the cells are right and you have a wired connector it should be easy enough to swap that part over with your current one if it doesn't fit. If not then maybe the connector contacts are in the right place?
From China / Spain.... Wonder where Pestuzaco comes from and what their ebay user name is??? 94% feedback.. OH MY.....

Not even subtle. Anyway, spares for that are completely interchangeable with those from the Aldi model.
Alternatively, I find the best place is Aliexpress. All of the cheaper robot vacuums (even Roomba) are based on Chinese models sold for their domestic market, therefore a lot of the batteries are easily found on there. Take the battery out, find if there's a code, or worst case find the mAH and voltage and go from there, you'll find it quick enough. I replaced the battery in my robot hoover recently for just £18 delivered. Works great now.
