21.6 V · 4.0 Ah · SV10 uses the same pack
Dyson V8 Series Battery Replacement
The V8 platform runs at 21.6 V with a screw-retained pack identified by 214730-01, 164527-01, 229602-01, 215866 or 967834-02. Our 4.0 Ah replacement is AU $52.79 (list AU $70.99) with Panasonic A grade 18650 cells, and the SV10 machine code is the same pack. Dyson Australia sells one shared part number for V7 and V8 machines, which is precisely how owners end up ordering the wrong aftermarket battery — so this page starts with the codes, not the marketing name.

Which machines sit on the V8 battery platform
From the fit list on our V8 product page and the SV10 listing, both of which publish the same 4.0 Ah pack.
Fits these models
- V8, V8 Absolute, V8 Animal, V8 Animal Exclusive, V8 Fluffy
- SV10, SV10 Absolute, SV10 Animal, SV10 Fluffy
- Part and replacement codes: 214730-01, 164527-01, 229602-01, 215866, 967834-02, SV10
- Machines whose old pack reads 21.6 V and 4.0 Ah in the V8 housing
Not for these
- V7 and SV11 — a separate SKU with its own codes (968670-02 / 225403), see the V7 platform page
- V6 and DC58–DC74 — slide-in packs on a different shell
- V10 / SV12 — that platform is 25.2 V
- DC31–DC45 handhelds — 22.2 V legacy, Type A or Type B
- V11, V11 Outsize, V12, V15 Detect, Gen5 — outside our current range
Our V8 product page carries one line we do not repeat here: it describes the pack as "fully compatible with your Dyson V8 & V6 Series". A V6 machine takes a slide-in pack, not this shell, so we ship against the part codes above and not that sentence — [CONFIRM whether the V8 listing's V6 compatibility wording is current]. If your battery label shows a V6 code (965874-02, 61034-01), order on the V6 page instead.
One Dyson part for V7 and V8, two different packs from us
Dyson Australia lists a single replacement battery, part 972237-01 at AU $150.00, as "compatible with below skus only": V7 419671-01, 419672-01 and 419667-01, plus V8 394437-01, 394441-01, 400392-01, 400393-01 and 419680-01. So a genuine swap is interchangeable between those two families. Our aftermarket packs are not: the V7 pack is keyed to 968670-02 / 225403 housings and the V8 pack to 214730-01 / 164527-01 housings, at different prices.
How to avoid buying the wrong one
-
Read the code on the pack you are replacing
Not the model name on the handle, and not the Dyson part number you found in a search result. The sticker on the old battery carries the code that decides the shell.
-
Check the SV code on the machine label
SV10 belongs to the V8 family, SV11 belongs to the V7 family. That single letter-and-number pair separates the two SKUs when the marketing name is unclear.
-
Compare the price of the listing you are actually ordering
V8 and SV10 packs are AU $52.79; V7 and SV11 packs are AU $50.79. A two-dollar difference is cheap insurance against a pack that will not seat. If the two readings conflict for your machine, email info@aussiebatt.com with the code and a photo.

Saving, stated carefully. AU $150.00 − AU $52.79 = AU $97.21 less, about 65 % below the Dyson list price for a V8. OEM prices shown are Dyson Australia list prices for the corresponding genuine part, checked on dyson.com.au on 31 October 2026. Dyson changes prices and availability — confirm before relying on the saving figure.
Typical faults on the V8 platform
The V8's most common complaint is a run time that has quietly halved. Before you buy, run the two free checks: a washed and fully dry pre-filter, and a clear cyclone and airway.
Cuts out mid-clean, hot near the motor
Blocked airflow makes the machine shut down to protect the motor, and it feels identical to a failing cell. Dyson V8 battery usage tips covers the mode and filter duty that causes most of these calls.
Only runs on the lowest mode
A pack that fails under MAX load but survives on standard is worn, not broken — and it will get worse. Check it against the replacement signs list before ordering.
No charge light at the dock
Plug into a working outlet and look at the lights on the dock or adapter first. If those are dead, the 21.6 V charger is at fault, not the pack.
The decision on this platform is a code check, not a model check. If your old pack reads 214730-01, 164527-01, 229602-01, 215866 or 967834-02 at 21.6 V — or the machine label says SV10 — the V8 4.0 Ah pack at AU $52.79 is the one. If it reads 968670-02 or 225403 you are a V7 owner, and Dyson's shared part number is the only reason the two ever get mixed up.
Warranty, delivery and what is not covered
Brand new, In Stock at Granville with a 3–7 day delivery window, orders processed within 24 hours, free Australia Post shipping, 1 year warranty and 30 day money back. The limitation is printed on the product page and worth repeating: "Our warranty does not extend to any products that are physically damaged or that are not under normal operating conditions as a result of misuse or improper installation on the buyer/user's part."
