Awesome video! The dyson batteries suck and take forever to charge. I thought of this idea a couple weeks ago when I was waiting two hours for the battery to charge. Seems our minds think alike 👍 thanks for blazing the trail!
Did the same with my Dyson last year. Works great
This is the recommended I needed. Amazing job!
Awesome, great to see it getting a new life!
Great idea and thanks for that. You really should watch a few soldering vids though as doing it this way burns off the flux before it can do its job and is a recipe for dry joints.
I stumbled on this video by accident. I had made an adapter for my Milwaukee battery so it could power my Hoover Linx stick vacuum. All kinds of power and battery life now.
😂 not bad at all mate .
Its amazing that its the Dysons charging board craps out , the batterys are normally all good , must be a real good money maker for Dyson .
Your hack is the Best mate 💪
Very nice retrofit job. I did the same last year using a Makita 18v battery. Works fine, but since the Makita (and Milwaukee) batteries are only 5 cell 18650s, and the original Dyson pack has 6 cells, you do lose suction power in Turbo mode. But, it’s much nicer to be able to swap out batteries after 15 minutes, and keep going, rather than having to wait for the Dyson battery to recharge. I’m not sure why Dyson hasn’t made one with a replaceable battery.
They actually made them. V11 outsize and V15 have swappable batteries.
Milwaukee has 12.0 m18 batteries for more run time and power
@@uwsalocin it was about time for them to make a Dyson able to swap a battery on the spot.
There really isn't a need to swap out the battery in 95% of use cases. We have a 3k ft^2 home, and never swap out the battery in ours. I do rotate them, just so one isn't sitting idle for 5 years while the first one gets used up.
@@uwsalocin my regular v11 has click in batts
What a boss! Nice work
Beautiful idea. Ive had a dead dyson battery 🔋 for 2 yrs. im going to do this with my makita drill batteries
Just buy new Dy son...
Wired a 12v cigarette lighter socket to power a 12v compressor with Milwaukee m18.
Pumps up flat mower tyres and even a tractor tyre on a 4ah.
It's a portable air beast in little bucket with a handle and lid.
Brilliant.. i am a Milwaukee and Dyson fan too..but don't know how to do what you did 👍
That's sick! I'm going to keep my eye out for one with a bum battery now
Nice work this has just inspired me to do the same to our old design aswell. Only thing is am going to design and 3d print a battey mount that will be a mix of ryobi and dyson
Great work mate !
The rigid 18v rocks 👍👍
Very nice job sir it’s nice to see you have recycled something that could be thrown away well done 👍
Hang on...throw away the Dyson unit? Battery is junk yeah?
I thought about this a couple hours ago, I opened CZcams and this was the first video
I just purchased ryobi vacuum cleaner... I can't believe how great it works...
Thanks. I have one that needs to be repurposed and will be doing the same.
If you make these retrofit kits for sale, please let me know so I can purchase. My whole garage is all Milwaukee so this would be icing on the cake with my Dyson vacuum!
Great video dude really great idea I can do this and I will do it I hate the battery life on my wife’s Vacuum
Oh no, its not finished, you have to paint the motor housing red, and the handle plasti dipped black, and leave the purple, and the garlic looking thing the original colors, other than that, I give that a 9/10 great job 😎👍🏼
I've done this sort of thing soooooo many times.
Nice work!
So many issues cold soldiering , no heat shrink, did use a proper crip set piles don’t give proper force , but love the idea 😏
You made me jealous! 👍😂
Yep did the same a few years back but with a kobalt 24 volt battery as it's voltage is closer. Still works fantastic🤣
Cheaper too
DeWalt conversation with the new 15amphr battery
@@danielboone94
So You can vacuum your entire village. 😂
IT’S BEAUTIFULL
Mines is going out and I didn’t even think about this wooooiw
I would recommend some flux next time. If it ever breaks, use some next time it’s super cheap
Your solder joints looked a bit weak
The flux would help suck the solder in
That's excellent!
Definitely doing this
Super job
Mine smoked the motor circuit board the second I plugged battery in.Dewalt 8ah.
Lol, different voltages
My best guess is you shorted something perhaps wrong polarity. As there’s no BMS in the dewalt which would give you short circuit protection I wouldn’t recommend using anything but ryobi and Milwaukee for these jobs.
How are you getting around the inbuilt low voltage cutoff ? Dyson 6 cell series = 22.2 v nominal & the milwaukee battery 5 cell series 18.5 nominal so wen a preset voltage is reached the vac cuts out & that won't tap into the batteries full capacity. I have a 6cell lipo pack hardwired into mine but i tryed 5cell series makita batteries before i decided needed 6 cells
Loved this video, would be cool if you took it a step further and tested it before and after. ( E.g. how long the battery lasts, how much suction you get, ect. )
kinda hard to do since he said right at the start that the battery was flat, although I think he meant to say dead there instead of flat.
I did the exact same thing but I used 24v max Kobalt batteries so my dyson would receive the correct voltage and run more efficiently. Kobalt batteries are also cheaper than Milwaukee and still use top quality Samsung cells inside.
Came across this video and thought....
This is exactly what I want to do the same thing with different brand.
Badass, I wonder of someone's made a 3d model attachment for printing.
Most battery specialist shops can rebuild batteries/replace the dead cels
Yep, good vacuum except for the battery/charger. I did the same thing with mine using makita batteries.
For V6, V7 and V8, you can try to buy an adapter. I have one for DeWalt to V8, but I have seen others as well.
I’m late to the party! Keep up the great content.
If it was the newer v11 vacuum i imagine there would be a loss of power but idk. The v11 is i think 28v max and 25.2 nominal and the v11 has larger cells. I forget the size but they are larger then even 21700. Dont know about the older dyson
Dywaulkee. Nice
Ive been saying we need this at home for years
would you mind leaving a parts list so i could build mine like this
looks better than the milwaukee cordless handheld.
Yes yes yes, I was thinking of doing this for years, the mrs loves them dysons but I hate the batterie life, not for much longer any more👍🇬🇧
Funny switch!
Don’t bin the old battery pack. The cells are still good to use in torches and stuff like that. In many occasions it is one or 2 cells that are bad and makes the whole pack useless. I have a radio that works with these cells. Works a treat.
You can't really get the cells out. Only 3 of them, if I remember, and the rest are epoxied in place with a thermistor.
@@littlejackalo5326
You can but it is not for the faint hearted.
You need to cut a slot on the plastic cell holder all along the battery length. As I said above, not for the faint hearted. Do it only at your own risk.
Awesome!
lol awesome 👏 😎
Milwaukee M18 cordless compact vacuume model# 088220. $180-$210 ... and by-pass the Dyson all together.
👍👍for ingenuity though!
Yes, only do this if you have a worn out Dyson already. Or can pick up an old one.
The hand held M18 vacuums are trash, and the bigger ones with the hose aren't as handy as a pistol grip one like the Dyson.
How long is the run time on the 18 volts
I love this but i need those brass solder scrubbers. Dont use the kitchen ones they destroy it. Add some extra flux to the brass ball and mix it around when new. Ur soldering will be way more reliable and better for longer years to come. Sponges r dead and old news and lower ur temp
has anyone figured out how to do this with the v10 yet?
Definitely doin this mod
Great job. Someone with a 3d printer can make and sell adaptors for this application.
Hi good job ,does anyone know where to buy such a switch or similar, thank you.
I literally just took a survey from Ridgid/Emerson yesterday and I told them their vacuum cleaner suck (not in a good way). And I asked them why they couldn’t their vacuums be more like Dyson, Hoover and Shark that have no pleated filters. So now I’m going to go out and buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner and do this (i’m looking for a used vacuum with a bad battery).
You are a genius, or is it just necessity that made you a genius? Either way thank you!
Just bought a used v10 with none of the extra attachments and im loving it so far. No dead battery yet but the v7's are getting up in age and the attachements work with the newer stuff interchangably. Any red button latch is compatible.
Just FYI the Dysons don’t have a pleated filter either, and the filters are expensive to replace if you’re using this for a shop
@@ItsKeananT filters are washable on atleast the newer models.
@@ItsKeananT he never said they have pleated filters, he said the exact opposite. And the filter isn't expensive to replace. It's washable, and they're like $7 to replace.
@@littlejackalo5326 just be careful with the knock offs. Working in retail people bring in the cheap Chinese junk filters on their vacuums claiming they’re suddenly faulty. Usually worth spending the extra $10-20 and getting one that works, unless it’s Amazon where you can just get a refund quick and easy if it’s faulty
Regarding the lack of a voltage protection circuit, has anyone wired in a voltmeter display? I figure it'd be straightforward like vehicle battery circuits but may as well ask if anyones wired a meter in for those neurotic about killing a battery
Cool build. But I have the Milwaukee 2 gallon pack out vacuum lol you could of just bought that? lol It’s pretty quiet too
what about the auto voltage shut off. on milwaukee it in the tool not the battery?
Someone should 3d print a retrofit kit to diy at home.
What type of glue did you use
Now i can be a mechanic amd a house wife while at the shop, bahaha 😂
Almost 500k views.
A few more waits, there will be a Dyson/milwaukee adapter in Aliexpress
Does the Dyson charger still work?
would be even more kickass if someone made a .stl file so we could 3d print a whole new lower section.
Need an adapter for the V10. Does anyone know if they exist?
Uhhh... those batteries will break if discharged too low. Any issues with that, yet?
any problems with the vacuum now that a year has gone by?
Great idea and build! Quick question though, as Milwaukee batteries don't have any voltage protection built into them. Do you know if the Dyson has any voltage protection in there? The risk is if you run the vacuum for too long you could lower the voltage in the battery to point where it won't charge anymore rendering the battery useless.
Great point, will f those batteries most likely (if ran to low) I have been able to revive a couple jumping out a good battery to dead one though
I thought the m18 batteries had voltage protection? I’d imagine you could just check the indicator every so often though
@@codyollett3485 yeah it’s an odd quirk of the Milwaukee batteries as ryobi have automatic cut off. My only guess is they didn’t put it in to save space and allow for extra batteries and have to stick to the decision since it will cost them more to put it in both the battery and the tool.
@@pincombe Milwaukee has the voltage protection circuitry in the tool instead of the battery. Ryobo put it in the battery so they would be compatible with older Ryobi tools.
Nice job where did you buy the switch?
Nice job. Any issues with that switch yet? Pretty sure that vac is pulling waaay more amperage than that switch is rated for.
haha yeah it does but no dramas with the switch so far
Would probably gain performance removing it
Remapped switch
Yeah I’m sure the electronics don’t like the shunt of the circuit when opening the circuit. Surge current and voltage spikes in some of those electronics will wipe them out. You could use a non variable switch from just about any of milwaukees cordless lineup to integrate a choke to prevent transient voltage spikes and current surges.
@@RadDadisRad nobody likes a know it all Leland.
There is one bit of drama in that if you use the vacuum for long enough you will discharge the LI batteries below the point of no return and brick your batteries. The circuit board in the Dyson battery is there to disconnect the motor get discharged too far.
Interesting!
These are the types of projects i like but i don't own a milwaukee battery.
Im gonna try it with a V7 dyson. Spewing i didnt notice sooner coz we just bought a brand new v10 for $799… ah well, may as well convert the v7 for $15
Going to end up with 2 dysons! Not bad idea.
@@twisty82 but could have saved $800 if I’d seen this first haha
How does the suction power compare to the factory battery? Does m18 battery have enough power to spin brush roll?
@@jl9362 pretty much the same, just alot easier to swap battery's
Or just buy an aftermarket battery for $25.
Cool project.
But one Question
How long will the switch last with it being rated for 1.5A ?
The motor dictates how much current it will draw not the battery.
How long this 1.5A switch will last?
Aye make a CZcams short of this and it will surely go viral
Or tiktok. Aim even lower down the totem pole of intelligent life.
Milwaukee needs to make a vacuum with some pre filter cyclone. Most of thier vacs clog filters quickly.
Agree maybe like a small cyclone built into the vac? Aka dust particle seperator type
I think Mr Dyson holds the patents for cyclonic vacuum cleaners
About how much run time do you get on the 5.0 Milwaukee battery?
Did you rolling road it 😊
Wow great job you missed telling people they need a voltage discount so that the milwaukee battery doesn't get drained to a point where it won't charge again !
Great job! Will this work on a V10?
I modded my v7 with a 22V Hilti battery
Another great U-Tube video on how NOT to Solder!
I guess he is I swing the stain voltage regulator to monitor battery voltage
Those drill packs are 18v and the vacuum runs at 24v.
No issues?
Yeah it’s not going to have full power ; turbo mode won’t work; although it’ll last ages between charges …
I would not use Dyson for a shop vac...thing has a very small opening in the unit so it will always get jammed
Can confirm, it does always get jammed. It's what I have though so for now it'll do.
High demand batteries would be best suited
love the concept, the vacuum will prob just kill this battery just as fast
DeWalt 20V is closer to Dyson's 21. Have to try this out
A fully charged "18V" lithium-ion battery gets to 21 volts. full charge is 4,2V per cell, and you need a minimum of 5 cells anyway for an 18V battery. 18V and 20V lithium-ion batteries are the same.
@@rolfbjorn9937 it’s still under voltage; the Dyson is 6 cell ; the Milwaukee is 5
man you didn't tell us the most important part, how many minutes with a full speed??
Thats a grouse idea
The mill-why-son
👍👏👏👏
Good Job, but I would have just bought the superior Makita Vacuum Cleaner.
