my newly purchased battery can only supply the roomba 560 for 15 minutes, and the charge only takes a short time to complete the charging. defective?

I experienced one similar incident the first time I used the battery but it has never repeated. I am coming upon three months.

I'd return it sooner than later. Ours did the same thing and completely dead within 4 months. 1 month past their warranty and they wouldn't do anything about it. We're going direct to roomba as they have a year warranty on their batteries.

I'd give it a few hours plugged in time to charge the battery. If that doesn't work, I suppose it's defective.

It has been awhile, but initial charge of 40 hours is too much. You have a defective product. Possibly a bad battery.

I have a different model shark. After having similar problems with a short battery charge life, I researched online. Apparently many people have experienced short charge lengths. I still have mine because when it works it works fine. If allowed to charge a long time, charge will last longer.

don't know. I do know it only lasted one time in my roomba! not worth the shipping charges

I think you must have gotten a faulty unit, mine lasts for at least a week on a full charge. I would contact support on that.

depends on how discharged your battery is . most of my batteries were charged within 24 hours are less. sounds like you have a battery with a weak cell that will not let the battery come to a full charge '

I know this sounds stupid but make sure the battery is inserted properly and that it is in all the way. My charge time has been 10-20 minutes. My original battery charge lasted 6 months.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

this is a poor quality battery, it only holds its charge for 30 minutes. what a rip off, or it could be that this new battery is defective. I wrote to amazon about getting a replacement, but no reply....

I had the same problem, the battery does not hold the charge, I returned after trying to charge it for 48 hours

I only takes a couple of hours for mine to charge. Sounds like your charger or battery is faulty.

I returned this battery for the same reason. The charger's light fluttered and the battery wouldn't charge. I took it out and reseated the battery a few times until it flashed slowly showing that it was charging. It was at three bars the next morning, but the charger was fluttering again so I don't know if it was fully charged. I put it in my D5300 and it went from three bars to flashing (no power) within fifteen minutes. Returned it and got the twice the price nikon battery

It sounds like something may be defective or the battery is dying out, as it should only take a couple hours to charge. I cannot recall it taking more than hours. You may want to use a power block instead of a computer to charge it to make sure the problem isn't with say a weak laptop battery.

I'm sorry but I don't know since I never heard of RoombaPro model. Does it look like the size and shape of your old battery?

I had to go onto the Roomba website to see which battery to order. I have two Roomba's and they took two different batteries.

Sounds like you have another problem. New battery was fully charged 4-6 hours
