Hi :) You don't need to remove the motor unit and bin. You can just unscrew the three screws and pull the battery out. I have just replaced the original battery for a no-name one in my V7. Basically you could leave out the two screws near the bottom - and then have two batteries to swap from - just like with other power tools.
The vacuum was very expensive when I bought it, when the battery died a month after the warranty ran out I went to dyson for a replacement battery, 95 bucks AND the thing was out of stock! Thank god for no name batteries on amazon and tutorials like this! I will never purchase another dyson product.
Agreed. I bought mine in 2023 but realized the Dyson I purchased was made in 2020. Battery lasted 3 months and can only hold a 30-min. charge. The battery for the cordless must drain or leak sitting on the shelf for ages waiting for someone to afford it. Dyson needs to come up with something so these batteries have a longer shelf life. If I buy Dyson again it will have to be with a cord. 😢
My V7 is about 4 months old. I’m I installing a more powerful battery. The only difference I noticed is the Phillips head screws have been replaced by vey small torx heads. Thanks for the vid.
Sal - Dyson Engineers should learn from your videos. I liked my Dyson V7 Absolute - until the battery went out after just a few months vacuuming the car in Florida. Dyson uses a lithium-ion nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) type battery - the downside is that it has a lower temperature rating than other types of lithium eg LiFePO. Their NCA battery retails for $95 (ouch). Dyson said to let it cool off - split a big job into smaller ones with cool-downs & let it cool off before charging again. As an Engineer myself - I favor designing products to be universal. Yet none of my different Dyson vacuums can use each other's attachments. I'd really like to put my V7 Power Head (or even just the motorized tool) on my Dyson Ball Multi Floor Upright - a monster with 270 airwatts (yet no tool power connections) - so I can vacuum under the beds with high suction. Somebody needs to come up with a power adapter.
Evidently, my screwdriver was cheap. I got 2 screws out, but stripped the last one. Now I have ordered new screws and a Moody Kit. However, what type of screwdriver set do you recommend?
My husband was able to change the battery, and put vacuum back together cuz of your video. Thank You Sir!!! If it was not for you, we would have thought vacuum was no longer functional. #LifeSaver
On my V7 that was an indication that my battery was beginning to fail. It would usually run on max for 7 -9 minutes, but after 4 years it began to lessen significantly...eventually to the point that it would run on max for less than 1 minute. So I think your battery probably needs replacing noon. Like others here, I bought a no-name brand from Amazon. There are lots of them to choose from, and I decided on one that had lots of reviews and the highest satisfaction rating. It wasn't the cheapest, but not the most expensive and it was definitely less than a battery purchased directly from Dyson.
Actually, upon watching the shorter Dyson video on the battery replacement you find removing the motor and the clear plastic dustbin is not required. Does make it easier and simply a matter of the three screws. You might want to edit this video and upload it again.
The unit flashes a red light instead of a yellow or blue. When I charge it it continues to flash red. Does this mean I need a new battery? I am bewildered. Thanks!
This looks easy but I just cannot get those two screws on the underside to actually MOVE. Just in too tight. Tried soaking in WD 40 - no improvement - what can I do please?
A better screwdriver is normally a good option. Perhaps grab the screw driver with a pair of pliers to get some torque on it. I don’t think wd40 is going to be advisable with plastic.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Did you figure out how to remove the post exhaust part (the exhaust cap at the end)? To see if it is possible to make the V7 hepa-rized by replacing the exhaust part.
Can someone tell me when I plug the charger in and the two little blue lights go on and then they turn off within a minute and the machine never charges what does that mean?
Because not everybody has small screwdrivers. I at least needed to open the bin to get access to the screws as my screwdriver doesn’t fit in the small area.
You don’t have to remove the bin, or the cowl, the video for battery replacement that Dyson has on youtube doesn’t show removing anything, except for the three screws, and battery.
Please show how to fix this back . The Tyson screws are useless even with a 37 piece kit it was hard to remove. This product is very badly designed. They need to make it so a 5 year old can change the battery.
You're one hell of a instructor on TH-cam. Your comments and instructions have no parallel,.
Thank you
Thanks!!
This video was a life saver... well, hundreds of dollars saver. I would’ve just bought a new vacuum but all it needed was the battery. THANK YOU!

I wish I read your comment before I just replaced my battery haha!
Agreed
BUT BUT BUT, if you remove the bin and motor unit you can give them a really good cleaning.
@@princessjanie9901 that’s exactly what I did. It was filthy.

@@miaw.5819 You know what I found out though, if you clean the filter on top all the time, it saves the batteries lives.

Perfect short video made it easy to replace the Dyson 7 battery. Thanks.
Always a good idea to check the battery first. SUCCESS!!! Easy peasy. Thank you so much.
Thank you just changed my battery, bin, and all my filters using this video. Husband died and I'm doing things myself. 👍🏾😁

Thanks so much. Couldn’t understand the Dyson written or video instructions at all! Got sorted with your video.
Evidently, my screwdriver was cheap. I got 2 screws out, but stripped the last one. Now I have ordered new screws and a Moody Kit. However, what type of screwdriver set do you recommend?
Thank you for the video. Once I knew what screws to remove I just removed the battery without having to take out the bin and motor.
Thanks you
Thanks for making what appeared to be a big question as to how to do it into a simple procedure that I wouldn't have figured out on my own :D
Glad to hear it!
And I echo all the others. Thank you. You've made this really easy.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing. The Phillips head screw you're talking about is call a PH1 or just "P1" for short.
Looking more closely I think it's technically a Pozidriv, but I just call them all Philips on the videos to cut down on confusion!
@@unsharpen wow. Now that's two things you've taught me. Lol. I never new that was a thing untill now
Hi, I appreciate the clear and simple instructions. Thank you.
Thanks so much. So helpful. It was breaking my brain trying to figure it out.
Question: What is the size of the screwdriver to use. I need to order and would like to get the correct size. Thanks for your help.
Ph1
The Dyson V7 manual is a joke, thanks so much, would have never been able to do this without you.
Very helpful! More so than what they send with the battery charger as instructions! Thanks! 😀
Thank you! Great tutorial. Saved the cost of a new vacuum!
Thanks. Probably helpful to identify the proper screwdriver as a Phillips #1. The most common Phillips screwdriver is the #2.
Thank you so much for this clear and easy to follow tutorial 👍
My V7 bin won’t open. It’s stuck. The red lever does nothing. Any ideas for a fix?
Thank you! Saved me a lot of money 🤝
Same here
My husband was able to change the battery, and put vacuum back together cuz of your video. Thank You Sir!!! If it was not for you, we would have thought vacuum was no longer functional. #LifeSaver
Glad it helped!
@@unsharpen tremendously!
Please post link of your scewdriver. I tried a set of Torx but did not work. I have a Dyson V7.
Thank you, very useful. took me about 4 mins to replace battery.
If I use the v7 on max. It will just last for 1 - 3min. Should I change the battery?
max battery life is only meant to Be about 5 min so i think your battery is ok. It’s designed for use in short bursts

Yes. Red means battery fault
Wow...Thank you for this...my new battery is coming
Excellent presentation! Thank you! 🇨🇦
WOW!!! Incredibly clear & helpful. Well done. Thanks so much. Very grateful.
Glad to hear it!

Just replaced my battery this week. Easy
Thanks, I fixed my V7 by replacing the battery for about $45.
Thank you. Great job!
Thank you so much for the video!
Ty for the video!!! Worked like a charm
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Did you figure out how to remove the post exhaust part (the exhaust cap at the end)? To see if it is possible to make the V7 hepa-rized by replacing the exhaust part.
Thank you so much!
I needed to see how to put the Ben and other part back on. Please.
Great video instruction! Thanks so much!
Can someone tell me when I plug the charger in and the two little blue lights go on and then they turn off within a minute and the machine never charges what does that mean?
Means it’s fully charged
Very helpful video, changed the battery on my BRAND NEW V7 in 3 minutes or so.
Really useful. Thanks very much!
Thanks for the vid. Help me a great deal and saved me money!
Glad I could help!
What lights indicate it’s a battery fault
Way too much work. Just simply remove the 3 screws. Why do you have to disassemble the unit first?
I thought the same.
Because not everybody has small screwdrivers. I at least needed to open the bin to get access to the screws as my screwdriver doesn’t fit in the small area.
You must be lazy if this 3 minute job is way to much work
Nice video, and greatly appreciated! Thanks
Thanks for posting this!
Thank you! Such clear instructions!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you for this!
Great video 🎉
Excellent and right to the point!
Life saver!
Cool! Thanx ! From Italy
Happy to help!
Now if only they had quick, swappable batteries without disassembling. How many of you had run out of power right at the end?
Some of the bigger models have a swappable battery but then the price of the battery is much more /:
Great job with this. Thanks. I would say the video sucks but really that's a good thing in the world of vacuums. ;)
Ha thanks
Thank you very much! Replaced my battery in about 2 min. Took me longer to find a tiny screwdriver 🪛
Great video thank you.
Thanks!
Great tutorial! It was very helpful and easy to follow.
Glad it helps!
Helpful video thank you
How much are the batteries
$40 ish or about $90 from Dyson
Thank you so much 🙏🏼👍🏼
The screws in my unit were not Phillips. They were Torx, T6 Screwdrivers.
Good information on Screwdriver size and type! Thanks
Life saver thank you
😱😱...so thankful!
Thank You Sir!
Would have helped to show the refitting of the parts and how they fit together!
Thanks for the note
You can contact Dyson give them the model number they will send you a replacement battery free of charge don’t needs recites.
You don’t have to remove the bin, or the cowl, the video for battery replacement that Dyson has on youtube doesn’t show removing anything, except for the three screws, and battery.
thank you very much
THANK YOU
Great video, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks man
Many thanks for your video :+)
Thanks!
Best tutorial thank you!!!!
Wish you would've shown how to put it back together completely otherwise great video
Good video thank you
Thanks mate!!!
You got it
Thanks
Thanks boss.
Cómo retirar los s filtros para limpiar de este vacuum
It’s the blue piece at the top of the vacuum. You lift it out
Yay I did it
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Priciate you
These screws are awful, I have a full set of small screwdrivers and it’s still stripping with almost no pressure
I’ve done it many times and I still have problems. They are overtightened at the factory
Why the top one? It doesn't even reach there
Please show how to fix this back . The Tyson screws are useless even with a 37 piece kit it was hard to remove. This product is very badly designed. They need to make it so a 5 year old can change the battery.
Would be nice to have stated the screw driver correct size?
I just realized the first word you say in your videos is “so”
But I like how you get right to the point great videos
This unit is a piece of junk lol I bought it last year only last about 3 minutes on high. Been like that out of the box .
👏
