Replacement Vacuum Cleaner Batteries for Dyson V6 http://www.drillbattery.com.au/orderbattery.php/dyson_V6_battery.html

The listings on 3rd party batteries like at NewEgg ( HQRP Battery for Dyson DC31 DC34 DC35 DC44 DC45 DC56 Series plus HQRP... ), Ebay ( NEW DYSON DC44 DC45 VACUUM Battery Type 2000Mah CORDLESS DC34 DC35 4402B ), and others lump the battery for the DC44 and DC45 together, so you're probably fine. You may want to take the battery to a Batteries Plus or such - sometimes a battery will show voltage just fine, but choke once there's a load on it. They have the gear to tell (same as with car batteries) Good Luck

Usually all of it

Since the brushroll motor works it seems you are getting power so the most likely cause is a loose connection or bad wire to the motor or the motor is bad and needs replaced.

It sounds like an electrical problem to me. A wire maybe be frayed or partially disconnected, and therefore, is cutting out the power when it's no longer making contact. Unfortunately, it sounds like you may need to bring it in for repair or call an electrician friend who may find the problem.

There is a motor just for the beater bar, and a belt that connects the motor to the beater bar...either your motor is bad or your belt is broken

Battery packs on Dyson V6 models are usually good for about 3-4 years. If yours is not holding a charge, I would first suggest replacing the battery pack. Also, I do not see any reason as to why not using it often would affect the battery life since these models are made to be able to stay on the charger for long periods of time without damaging the battery itself. If replacing the battery doesn't help, I suggest consulting with a technician. I hope this helps.

They just pull out on each end. The shaft goes all the way from one end cap to the other.

The latch might be clogged with dirt or gunk

There is a lever on the back of the vacuum you can turn to allow the filter to come out.

If it has good suction but won't pick up dirt off the floor it probably needs the belts or clutch replaced.

Yes, It is possible

The filters might need cleaned or replaced.

Might be bad on/off switch.

The on/off power switch faulty. The switch gets used every time you use it.So It might be that.Unplug it and open the switch.You can use a meter to check it.If it's in the off mode and still sends a signal...it's the switch

Have you tried pushing the peg inwards? This locking peg should be spring-loaded, and tapered at the top to retract automatically when the handle is pushed down, like a folding umbrella. However, it could be jammed, so try manual force. The lock-peg may have trapped a piece of debris around its body.

Sounds IMHO like a faulty connection, faulty switch, or crack in cord. An electrician or somebody competent with power appliances and a test-meter will need to open and check cord first, then work forwards through switch, wires, motor brushes, etc.

That's dyson's way of laughing at you for spending 4 times as much as you should have for a vacuum that doesn't work any better than the rest of them

if you followed all instructions then return

Brush roll is probably jammed
