My Roomba isn't working, and I suspect it's the battery. If I buy this battery, and that wasn't the problem, can I return the battery?

You should call customer service. Fyi, these batteries either work okay (for not very long) or arrive completely dead and never work. I say this after buying almost a dozen of them over a few years period, for myself and 3 family members. Make sure you buy from a vendor that clearly states a specific warranty. Otherwise you got a 30 dollar brick.

Push the button in the center and if doesn't move push it again.If this doesn't work try the spot clean. Other than that I would ask for tech support. I love my Roomba and all my family gets a kick out of watching work.

I am not sure but it worked in my Roomba and it isn't a 600 series. If it doesn't work you can send it back.

I am not sure. If its new, maybe you got a bad one. I only charge them until the green light comes on , on the Roomba. Do not leave on the charger too long. I have found this to mess up the charging cycles.If it don't take a charge, either you have a bad battery or it's your Roomba. I have a Roomba that runs but don't charge and another that charges but don't run. My battery has been fine. You can try one thing to reset the Roomba. With the battery out, push the power button 5 times or so. If that don't help, try pushing the clean and power buttons , at the same time, a few times. All the Roombas I have had developed different problems. Hopefully its just the battery. Hope this helps. I am not sure. If its new, maybe you got a bad one.

Sorry, I don't know what is wrong. My biggest problem was with the life of 3 batteries. The just didn't last long enough. Disposed of original then the 2 replacements are either not charging or won't hold the charge. I was really disappointed since we like the vacuum so well. Wish it could be converted to a cord. Good luck with it.

Maybe that particular battery doesn't work? I ordered one and put it in, and it works great! Maybe send it back and have another one shipped out.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

On my first roomba the charger went out after about 6 months and wouldn't charge the battery. The replacement (curtosity of the in-store replacement warrenty) lasted a while longer, but not it won't hold a charge. After extensive searching and some luck, I've found that I need a software upgrade that I've been trying to get for about 6 weeks. They seem determined to make me try every other possible solution before they will send the software upgrade module. My advice would be to go ahead and throw it away now and save yourself the time, energy, and fustration. The battery should not be thrown away though. Many places recycle them. Check cell phone stores, Home Depot, and the like. I'm not an envirometalist, but the stuff in the batteries is pretty nasty.

I had my Roomba model 4210 for at about 7 years before I gave it away to a friend that was interested in getting one, The only thing I had to replace in the time frame was the battery a couple of times, Other then that it always worked. I purchased a newer model after I have that one away.

It's a simple battery replacement in the roomba. Charges just like you would normally charge it. Make sure to charge it for a full 8 eight hours before using the first time.

If your Roomba is red, I would say yes. If its a different color, you need to make sure of the model number and research the correct battery

Same problem I had with my first one. If you call Dyson, they will have someone walk you through taking it all apart and cleaning it etc. I had already done this so I knew that wasn't the problem, but I did it again anyway. Still wasn't working. I finally returned it and got a new one. My new one actually stops occasionally too, but not like the old one. I'm not sure if you can still return it for a new one or not, but I would if you are able. Good luck.

Yes. But here is how to find out the model of your Roomba if you want to double check.http://homesupport.irobot.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/857/~/where-are-the-serial-and-model-numbers-for-my-robot%3F

They say lifetime warranty and replacement for any reason! I can't wait for my roomba to scrape one all around the room, and send them the "Roomba Did It" replacement request. :)

I don't know. What I do know is this: The ROOMBA is a far far better machine. I have one of these units just sitting after trying it, and immediately went out and bought another new Roomba.

Remember that if you bought the Roomba in the US using it outside of North America voids the warranty. Having said that I used the charger with a step down converter.

I haven't had any problems with this battery. I did check on the irobot website and it seems you can't buy this type battery in any strength from them. So, if you need a replacement, you have to buy elsewhere. My roomba runs for a long, long time on this battery. Well worth the cost.
