Two charger lines · 21.6 V and 22.2 V
Dyson Vacuum Battery Chargers
Most "dead battery" orders are actually a dead charger, and most damaged batteries were caused by the wrong charger. We sell two lines: a 21.6 V charger for DC58, DC59, DC61, V6, V7 and V8 machines, and a 22.2 V charger for DC31, DC34, DC35 and DC44 Animal handhelds. They are not interchangeable, and neither is a workaround for the other.

Which charger line belongs to your machine
Match the volts printed on your battery pack — not the shape of the plug and not the model name on the handle.
The 21.6 V charger is for
- V6, DC58, DC59, DC61 and the rest of the V6 platform
- V7 and SV11 packs, V8 and SV10 packs
- Our 21.6 V replacement batteries for those machines
- Wall dock or plug-in adapter charging of the stick models
The 22.2 V charger is for — and these are not
- DC31, DC31 Animal, DC34, DC35, DC44 and DC45 handhelds, listed with the 22.2 V packs
- Not for V10 / SV12 — that platform runs at 25.2 V
- Not for V6, V7 or V8 packs, even though 21.6 V and 22.2 V look almost identical on paper
- Not for V11, V12, V15 Detect or Gen5 — outside our current range
The 21.6 V and 22.2 V figures are only 0.6 V apart, which is exactly why people assume they are swappable. They are two different charge profiles for two different pack families, and the difference is enough to over-voltage a lithium pack or fail to charge one at all.
The two charger lines, as listed
Both lines are published on our own pages, alongside the power-tool charger catalogue. Prices move with the listing, so we have left the figures for the live pages rather than invent them here.
| Charger line, as listed | Voltage | Machines covered | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery Charger For 21.6V Dyson DC58 DC59 DC61 V6 V7 V8 | 21.6 V | V6 platform, V7 and SV11, V8 and SV10 | [CONFIRM charger prices on the live listings] |
| Charger for 22.2V Dyson DC31 DC34 DC35 DC44 Animal | 22.2 V | DC31, DC34, DC35, DC44 and DC45 handhelds | see the listing above |
| Dyson Australia charger (V6 / V7 / V8 / DC58 / DC59) | 21.6 V | the same 21.6 V family, sold by Dyson | AU $40.00 |
| 25.2 V V10 / SV12 charger | 25.2 V | V10 platform — not one of the two lines we list | [CONFIRM whether a 25.2V V10 charger is stocked] |
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. Dyson lists its pre-filter at AU $35.00 and its battery at AU $150.00 for the same 21.6 V family, which is a useful sense of scale: a charger is the cheapest part in the system, so never gamble a AU $36.79–AU $75.79 battery on it.

Check the dock or adapter lights first
This test appears on our own product pages, and it should be step one of every "will not charge" call. Plug the machine or pack into a wall outlet you know works — a different one if you have spare sockets handy. Then look at the lights on the charging dock or on the adapter brick.
The three possible outcomes
-
No light anywhere
Power is not reaching the charger. That points at the outlet, the dock or the adapter, not the battery. A replacement charger usually fixes it, and the pack is still good.
-
Light on, but the pack never reaches full
Charging is starting and stopping. Check the contacts are clean and the pack is seated, then let the temperature settle — a hot pack will refuse to charge.
-
Fully charged, dead in minutes
That is the cell pack, not the charger. Start with the DC35 won't-charge walkthrough or the V7 not-holding-charge guide, then order against the voltage on your label.
Typical faults that turn out to be the charger, not the pack
No charge light at the wall dock
Outlet, dock, then adapter. If none of the three is alive, the pack has never started charging — see the DC35 won't-charge walkthrough for the full order.
Charges, but dies within minutes
That is the cells, not the charger. Work through the V7 not-holding-charge guide before ordering a new adapter.
New pack, old charger, still no run time
A damaged charger can under-charge a good pack. Compare the symptoms against the signs it is time to replace the battery.
Never substitute a charger of the wrong voltage
A 22.2 V charger on a 21.6 V pack, or a 21.6 V charger on a 25.2 V V10 pack, is not a temporary fix. Over-voltage stress damages cells and the protection circuit long before anything visibly fails, and a warranty claim on a pack charged with the wrong adapter is exactly the "improper installation" case our warranty wording excludes. If your charger is missing, buy the matching voltage line — shipping and payment details are here.
One label decides the charger: the volts printed on the battery. 21.6 V takes the DC58/DC59/DC61/V6/V7/V8 line, 22.2 V takes the DC31/DC34/DC35/DC44 line, and a 25.2 V V10 belongs to neither. If you can read only one thing off the old pack, read the voltage — the charger follows it.
