 iRobot replacement battery August 28, 2010
Frederick T. Brox (Chesapeake VA)
This replacement battery was reasonably priced, arrived quickly and has restored new life to our ROOMBA unit. Installation is easy requiring only screw drivers. The supplier is recommended.
As good or better than iRobot original... from ShopXtreme August 26, 2010

I bought this for a Roomba 530 that went defective. It was only a couple weeks past the one year warranty and the bumper circuitry malfunctioned. I wasn't very happy about that as I had used it only about fifty times. Roomba offered to replace it with a top of the line scheduling model for a considerably reduced price to compensate for my loss. However, it would not have a battery, docking station, charger or lighthouse. I would have to use all the accessories from my old Roomba or buy anything else I needed.
Since it was a top of the line model, I elected to get the new one. I also decided I wanted to get a much better battery than what I had. After considerable research on these batteries from different sellers, I purchased this battery from ShopXtreme and it is an outstanding performance battery. I believe it is identical to the one sold by iRobot. In fact, I believe it is better. It runs for almost two hours before needing recharge. Before using it, I charged it for 16 hours even though it came with at least a partial charge.
The design of their battery makes it impossible to put it in wrong because there is a protrusion which has to match up with the battery compartment and it will only go in one way. That is important.
The key thing to look for is the rating of the mAh, which is the mili-amp hours. The higher that number, the better the battery is and the longer the run-time will be. Mine was 3,500 mAh. The battery sold by Roomba on their website is only 3,000 mAh and costs $89.00. It doesn't take much to realize that the one at ShopXtreme is a great value.
I would also caution you not to buy a NiCad battery which may look very similar to these and will also work in your unit. It is an easy mistake to make and may be tempting because they cost less and look the same. However they are the older version batteries much inferior to these and can develop a memory which will result in a short battery life and poor performance. Make sure it is an Ni-MH.
I can't speak for the other vendors, but if you order what I did from ShopXtreme, I am quite sure you will be happy and completely satisfied.

Battery started loosing its charge sooner and sooner. And finally after a year, it doesnt charge anymore.
Roomba battery replacement August 21, 2010
Uncle Chuck
The battery arrived in just a couple of days, so the vendor gets high marks. The battery has worked well for the month I have had it. The battery lacked the iRobot label that was present on the original battery. From other reviews I was not surprised to receive a generic replacement even though the product description at that time said "by iRobot". I think having "by iRobot" in the product description is misleading. I would have given 5 stars otherwise. Battery performance over the next year will determine whether my rating was justified.
 Roomba problems August 19, 2010
No power
The battery I replaced was not holding a charge for very long. This battery isn't holding a charge at all. Maybe it's the roomba?
