Dyson replacement battery?

TUVOK

I put a post on this subject about a year ago and had some very helpful replies.
I'm about to p[urchase a factory Dyson battery but was wondering before if any one has purchased a non Dyson battery for a V8?
If yes? how is it doing? ok or no good.

Thanks for any/all replies

Ps. I put this post up first via my mobile phone but nothing is showing as yey, hope a duplicate post does not come up.

My niece had given us her old dyson v6 and we found that the battery was on its last legs. Given that it was only for use in the kitchen and didn't want to spend much on it I purchased a battery on ebay as a last resort. It has worked surprisingly well and has sufficient charge to completely vacuum the ground floor which has some carpet as well as tiling.

I bought a slightly higher mAh battery than the original one but didn't go for the really large ones.

They are all made in China but the one I got came with a couple of spare filters which was useful.

My Dyson battery seems to have obtained a moderate boost some how?
It now lasts a lot longer than it used too.

I'm still debating whether to buy a new Dyson battery from them? If I do? is there any point in holding on to the old battery? for what ever reason? or is there no point?

Thank you.
