Okay, so my Roomba 650 was basically a fancy paperweight with its dead OEM battery. Took a chance on this 5000mAh replacement and BOOM – my little cleaning buddy is back in action!

Installation was stupid easy (even for someone who struggles with IKEA furniture). The included screws and brushes were a nice touch. First charge took a bit, but now it runs for ~55 minutes – not quite the 90 mins when brand new, but WAY better than the pathetic 15 minutes it was doing before.

Love that it works with like a million Roomba models (seriously, the compatibility list is insane). Also appreciate the safety certifications – don’t need my vacuum turning into a fireworks show.

Pro tip: If your Roomba’s battery dies, don’t trash the whole unit! This $40 fix saved me from buying a $300 replacement. Even if it only lasts a year, that’s still a win in my book.
