Scooba Compatible APS 5900 14.4V 4500mAh Ni-Mh Battery by Pexell



The battery iRobot should have used.
iRobot batteries are terrible, I dissected one and found very low quality cells. After doing that I was certainly not going to buy any more batteries from iRobot! So after doing some research I found that this company makes the highest rated NIMH battery for iRobot's Scooba. So far, my robot runs about TWICE as long as it ever did with the original battery.

Excellent replacement choice
This battery looks exactly like the original for my scooba 5800 and snapped into place with a solid click. It already had some charge, so I ran a full tank of solution and 10 minutes of another before it was depleted.

I'm sure it will do much longer with a full charge, maybe I should have charged it before using but it did fine.

It is supposed to be stronger than the original, which ran long enough but failed after I quit using it for a year.

VERY SLOW to get, but worked OK
It took almost a month to get the battery. The company said the post office lost it. When I told them of my urgency to get it, they expressed no concern.
The price was good and they would have gotten five stars if the customer service had been better.
