AussieBatt\u00a0Vacuum Cleaner Battery Experts have\u00a0done to improve the frustratingly poor performance of Samsung\u00a0Navibot SR8855 and help make\u00a0Samsung Navibot SR8845 Vacuum Cleaner Battery<\/a>\u00a0slightly easier to live with.<\/p>\n

Best Practices for Maximizing Samsung Navibot VCR8855 Vacuum Cleaner Battery Life and Performance<\/h3>\n

\n1. Making it suck<\/p>\n

If you look at your Navibot’s dust bin, you’ve probably noticed how the frame of that filter half-blocks the suction channel. How Samsung didn’t notice that themselves at the design stage we’ll probably never know, but with a sharp hobby knife you can easily cut out the obstructing part of the frame to open it up (careful you don’t cut into the filter itself – a thin lick of glue along that edge will ensure it’s sealed). It certainly improves the suck on my 8855 – not brilliantly, but to some degree. Cleaning used\/dirty filters in an ultrasonic cleaner improves the suck quite a bit too.<\/p>\n

2. Making the\u00a0Samsung Navibot VCR8855 Vacuum Cleaner Battery<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>run longer<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung warrant the Navibot battery for 6 months, and recommend replacing it after a year. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the quality of the battery in my opinion just that the Navibot treats it very badly, and my 18-month old battery was down to a best run-time of just 26 minutes. Cycling it slowly 5-times improved that to a consistent run-time of 67 minutes – as good as a new one.<\/p>\n

3. Straightening out the curled-up side-brushes<\/p>\n

No way am I buying new side brushes when there’s nothing wrong with the old ones, other than they twizzle themselves up so tightly the Navibot starts jumping up and down like a nodding donkey. Piece of wood, 4 screws, leave them overnight, and they’re as good as new by morning.<\/p>\n

4. Virtual Wall\/Lighthouse AA rechargeable battery conversion<\/p>\n

Anything that needs batteries in my house will use rechargeable AA or AAA cells. End of. The trouble is D batteries give 1.5 volts each, yet AA rechargeable only give 1.2 volts, so you’ll need 3 rechargeable AA cells to make it work… and work brilliantly it does too. 3 AA cell battery holder and a clip easily available from Marlins or Radio Shack, it fits in the device perfectly, and with 2000mAh or better rechargeable cells lasts just as long as typical D cells. I find “Hybrid” rechargeable cells seem to work best since they retain peak charge much longer than normal rechargeable battery cells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
