Robot Vacuum Battery Replacement

The Amazon battery just has that reverse polarity (I think, not confirmed) issue. So a multimeter should let you check that, compare pin-out with the original battery.

Here is the pin-out & voltages for the original battery…

  • Red is positive 16.28v (4.07v/cell) in reference to the black and white wire. The voltage will vary, the max is 16.8v, the minimum about 12v.
  • Black is assumed to be negative/common wire.
  • White is assumed to be a signal wire that is “pulled-low”.
  • Since Black+White is 0v, I can measure the resistance, it was 9 kΩ.
