Will this battery fit the Roomba 561? It says it needs a Ni-MH. What is the difference between the Ni-MH and the Ni-CD?

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are later technology than Nickel Cadmium batteries and don't have, for example, as much "memory effect" as Ni-Cad batteries (but are still not as good as Lithium Ion batteries that are used for everything these days). More importantly, the battery has to fit and have the same voltage as the original. Chances are, if it doesn't say it fits the 561 series, it doesn't (but I don't know about those details).

The Ni-MH is newer technology and has twice the density for longer runtime than that of the older Ni-CD battery. Don't know if it will work in the Roomba 561. I think it is important to match up the batterys mAh value.

Yes, works quite well. I too was concerned about the lower mHa rating but was told by the manufacturer the lower rating would last longer. I can't attest to this as the OEM battery had about reached it's intended life and required frequent charging. I'd recommend you use this battery for the Scooba. By the way, my model says 5800 but according to the other response by Mr Nolan all Scooba models use a common battery.

Hello, Yes, this battery will work in that unit. Any MU06 battery will work (either 593554-001 or 593553-001). The 593554-001 is just a slightly stronger battery for a bit of a longer charge life. Thank you for checking before buying. - Julie - Mobile Parts Proz

I had to go onto the Roomba website to see which battery to order. I have two Roomba's and they took two different batteries.

my roomba is a 551 model. i think i assessed the picture, number of batteries, etc. and the fact that it appeared to be the same battery, i took a chance. the price was so much better than direct from the manufacturer. works great! Your edit of my response removes all capital letters. I still use capital letters where needed. I wish you did not do that.

This battery has bigger capacity than NiMH type regular battery.But, Still we need to use same charging station.By this reason It take more longer time to fully charged than regular battery in 1st time (almost a day? I don't remember correctly).But, recharge time will be similar, just spend amount need to recharge.This battery gives long run time to roomba.

I can't find any reference to a Model 589. Are you sure it's not a 585? Anyway, my Roomba user manual is for the entire 500 series, so I am sure the battery is common across all 500 series models and the battery you are considering will fit yours. By the way, it's been a great battery at 1/3 the cost of the Roomba battery.

Yes, this is the Roomba that we have and bought this battery. Works great so far. Battery is installed under the Roomba though. Snaps in a slot in the bottom.

I believe that "4000 series" means all Roomba models starting with the digit "4". If you want to play it safe then order from a sour e that specifies yor model number as compatible.

To the best of my knowledge, the differences between the 500 and 600 series Roombas are minor, and the charging cords and bases will work fine with either model of Roomba.

I'm not really qualified to answer your questions; however the first Roomba that I had lasted probably 3 years. It got to where it would not move across the floor but I think if I had replaced the battery it would have run. However I received the new improved model for Christmas so I did not purchase a battery for the original one. I have been very happy so far with both Roombas but I have only had this last one 6 months. Wouldn't be without one since I love the fact that it goes under furniture.

not sure, but I have a Roomba, I believe a 500 series and bought this battery. It's worked better than the original.

We have the 595 pet series and it fits, not sure about the 600. Contact Roomba, they should provide insight.

Yes, that's the longer run-time version of the Ni-Cd battery. I used to use those and they work in the vac. I've switched everything over to the Li-ion batteries and couldn't be happier. My only complaint is that my Dewalt site laser and sawzall won't accept the new Li batteries. Who dropped the ball on that?

I used to have a 500mah ni-cd battery and switched it to this ni-mh battery and it works great. Much longer time in between charges and longer talk times. It is a tighter fit but the cover does close.

Yes, absolutely! We have an almost 10-yo roomba scheduler that we were going to throw out. I purchased this battery earlier this year and the roomba runs like new. Pretty awesome!

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.
