Can I use a different battery in my Dyson?

Hey @Mountgrove 

If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

This is a really great question. Generally speaking, until some of the more recent models have been released, there was one battery for each cord-free variant. For example, a V6 battery for V6 models, V7 battery for V7 models, etc. You can&#;t mix those or use them on a different model. I&#;ll also be quite honest and let you know that prior to today, I had not even noticed that on our US website, for example, this replacement battery is compatible with Dyson V11, Dyson Outsize, or V15 Detect vacuums. Also, prior to some V11 models, our cord-free batteries attached to their respective machines via tiny screws. They weren&#;t able to be quickly or easily swapped out, like our new clickable batteries are. I hope that this is somewhat helpful! 

Best wishes,

I have a DC44 Animal and all the accessories plus a couple of duplicates (I bought a partial DC44 system at the local thrift store after my DC44 power unit stopped feeding battery power to the power head) .  My working DC44 vacuum head recently broke&#;

A replacement on eBay is about US$50, or I could spend some quality shop time and repair it&#;

but... 

My friend has an extra Dyson V8 with a dead battery and limited accessories. 

With competitive price and timely delivery, semitech sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Are the DC44 and V8 accessories and battery interchangeable?  My DC44 battery is almost new.

He's willing to give me his V8.... is it worth driving across town to pick up his?

Or are the accessories completely incompatible?   Looking at Dyson 44s and V6s on eBay the accessory connection looks the same&#;

I&#;m retired and on limited income..  consolidating two Dysons would be a simple solution and would minimize ewaste.

Thanks in advance for any help&#;
