We have had a DC35 for a while and its been a total waste of money, we were sent a new body and that worked for an hour and now not working again. The battery charges to 21.4 volts and the charger then switches of, so I don't know wether its a faulty batt or charger. Since new this dc35 has done no more than 2 hours work. Not fit for purpose in my opinion and I feel ROBBED.

I had that SAME problem! It ran for just a few seconds after having a full charge. Cleaned the filters, tried everything. Just needed a new battery...

My Dyson DC16 hand vac's battery finally went out at 4 years, which is about right. I didn't want to pay Dyson $75.00 for a new one!

I found a good deal on ebay for new batteries that didn't break the bank!
That's all it needed.

It's good to have my hand vacuum back! I missed it!

Rock on Dyson.......

    I have a Dyson DC16 handheld and the battery does not hold a charge.
    I have the same vaccumm with the same problem, went back to exchange it and the same thing happened, I usually get about 10-15 minutes non stop out of the battery, I read that the battery memorizes the first charged time and then will only charge for that long. Did you happen to charge it 24 hrs?

    Have a Dyson DC16 - two years old - power continues to cut out eventhough it is fully charged. Runs only a few seconds.
    After two years the batteries are probably no longer holding a charge and need to be replaced.

    Red light flashing constantly on dc16 when on charge, used to just stay permantly red without flashing until it went green when charged up.
    I had a similar problem when I bought an after market 2Ah battery. Would stay solid red for a few seconds then flash red. I believe my problem was that the battery had gone into "sleep mode" I.e. it was discharged to the point that it "sleeps" in order to protect itself. So......I simply attached a domestic DC multi adapter to the terminals on the battery that are marked + and - (the 2 outside terminals on a DC16 Dyson battery). Switched on the DC adapter for around 10mins and this was enough to "wake" the battery. It now charges as normal attached to the DC16 in the Dyson charge mount.

    For a pretty in depth article on lithium battery sleep have a look at this:
