I buy the battery online at ebay for $20 shipped. I am about to buy my 3rd replacement battery. When i get it, i write the date on the bottom of the battery in marker. My last battery lasted 3.5 years. I had the roomba since 2005, and during it's lifetime, it picked up a lot of dirt for us. Well worth the $20 every 3 years to keep it running.

Thanks for the informative video. I just ordered a battery for my Roomba Discovery. Hope it fixes the problem.

Thank you so much for your concise video and for answering all those questions below.

@videal10 Interesting idea, but we caution not to scratch hard, and do not allow the contacts on the battery to be in contact with each other (causing a short). Essentially, taking a look to see if there is any residue on the contacts and cleaning them is always good.

So... Keep charging for 72 hrs. even if the light goes from amber to green?

[@twotailedavenger]

I have a problem similar to this on my 410 RED. After being plugged in for a little over 48hrs, its green light suddenly turned off and now it refuses to function or even charge. I have no homebase, just a standard charger. The robot has been stored away for a little over four years now. Is there any chance I can save the battery or is it out of commission for good? Because the only way to get a replacement RED battery now is through iRobot's website, and batteries there are very expensive.

This also works with the SE Discovery.

what if the charger isnt doing anything to the raomba discovery... not having that red light

[@Rollfastsmooth]

I have a Roomba pro elite and it doesn't light up when it is plugged into the charger I bought a new battery and charged it up and it only lasted a couple minutes before turning from Green to red and dying I tested the ports for the battery while hooked up to the charger and it has 18.6 volts at the battery. What can I do?

i have a roomba pro elite original (red) that i haven't used for years and tried to charge but it failed. I bought a new battery and it did charge but the indicator light still looked kind of yellow after about 15 hours. i powered up my old roomba and it cleaned for almost 2 hours. is that what i should expect? i also had to super glue my tread that was completely torn off on a wheel. cleaned very good for an old roomba.

I have a Roomba scheduler and as soon as I press the clean button it stops and it the light turns red and makes 4 beeps and I fully charge it but it doesn't do anything

Replacement Roomba batteries last for 1.5 to 2 years with proper care and will maintain your robot healthy. We feel that this is a fair price for your robot to keep helping with your household chores.

on my Roomba discovery, the green light never comes on, no mater how long it charges, only the red light stays on when charging and turns off when unplugged. it never moves or vacumes at all, ocasionlly it will beep a little bit when manually docking... but nothing really happens. is the battery shot?... it is quite a few years old but was never actually used... I dont wanna replace the battery if the robot s whats broken. thank you...

I put in a new battery & it did not fix the problem. Battery is good but I have to push the clean button every 80 seconds to make it run.

[@laureladams25]

I have the discovery; it runs fine, but for only a minute or two; it stops and I have to push the clean button again. The battery is charged...the robot just stops and is NOT hung up...it's in the middle of the floor...blinking...but not running until I push clean again...every minute or two. What do I do to fix this?

[@RobotShopTV]

On the charger itself you should see a solid green light. If not, there is possibly an issue with your charger. You may also verify the output voltage of the charger with a voltmeter. You should have 22V output from the charger. The issue could be with the charger, battery or robot itself. You may contact us via our support center for further troubleshooting if need be.
