Hi I have a Dyson handheld vacuum DC35 , when I plug the rechargeable battery in to charge the green light is just flashing and does not seem to hold charge

Question edited for clarity and typos. Please don't call a Dyson a 'Hoover' (registered name of Hoover Inc), James Dyson will be very upset. :>D

Yes you can buy batteries very easily, but you need ascertain that it is the battery, or the charger, or the control board? With a digital multimeter it is very easy to check battery and charger, but you will need Dyson service to diagnose a board issue.

battery has failed to take a full charge. will new a new battery

I plugged in the charger into the wall. I get a green light on the charger but the light on the vacumn doesn't turn on?

It appears that the battery has outlived its usefulness. They do go bad after numerous recharge cycles.

Hi Peter, it's Jack at Dyson.

From what you're describing, it does sound as if your DC35 needs to be recharged. When the machine is charging, the LED on the charger will illuminate, but the LED on the machine itself will not. When the LED on the charger goes out, the machine is fully charged - this will take 3.5 hours from depleted.

Please try connecting your DC35 to the charger cord and allowing it at least 3.5 hours to charge until the LED on the charger goes out, then test your machine. If it's still not running at this point, we will need to talk you through some simple diagnostic checks when you have your machine to hand. This will help determine whether there's an issue with the main body, battery or the charger itself.

Hi Perry, it's Jack at Dyson.

If the green light comes on when your DC35's trigger is pulled, but the machine does not run, this would usually signal that the battery has no charge.

The battery should recharge fully from depleted in 3.5 hours. However if your machine has been connected to the charger for at least this long and still won't run, it could mean there's an issue with either the charger or the battery.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson.

If your machine's charge has been completely depleted, it will take a maximum of 3.5 hours to recharge again completely. When it's fully charged, the light on the charger will go out. You can either plug the charger cord directly into the machine, or store and recharge the machine in its docking station.

Hi Jeff, it's Jack at Dyson.

DC35 should charge completely within 3.5 hours, and when fully charged the light on the charger will go out. If the battery doesn't seem to be taking in any power, we'd appreciate the opportunity to take you through some quick diagnostic checks when you have your machine to hand. If a replacement part is needed, our experts will also be happy to confirm if this is covered under your machine's 2-year warranty.
