Wow!
Generally I don't purchase products that have not been rated but the other vendors that sell the product were out of stock so I went ahead and did the order. I thought I was getting a battery and a spare but it ends up that the Neato needs two replacements which is fine with me but some of the other vendors didn't make that point clear. Also, the batteries don't come with any instructions but as soon as I turned the unit over it was fairly obvious where the batteries went (near each wheel).
But the real difference came after they were charged up. The little bugger is back in shape. No more doing half a room and going back to the charger. No more random stops, or loss of the time. When I called the help desk they told me it sounded like a battery problem and I didn't believe them. Boy was I wrong. Been cleaning about 1400 sq ft a day for the last 2 weeks and recovering two bins of dust every day (guessing my dog has something to do with that). Great investment and...
Neato now has the energy to make it home
Neato kept vacuuming less between charges and shutting off far away from base. Installed these, which was very straight forward, and Neato runs longer between charges and, at the very most, shuts off a few from its base.
Loses charge after only a few runs.
The batteries worked properly (held a charge for around 30-40 minutes) for about 2 runs of our Neato (so I know it was installed properly). Now, less than a week later, the vacuum won't go for longer than 10-15 minutes. The old ones I had from Neato (~9 mo old) that I bought these to replace work better than that. I am returning them and maybe the replacements will work better.
