We have a handheld rechargeable Dyson that mostly works very well.
Recently it has started to seem like its battery is dying.

It lives on its charger under the stairs all the time but it’s started
to “dieâ€? after just 10-15 seconds of use and displays a flashing
blue “low batteryâ€? indicator. The thing is, if I put it back on
charge for just 5 seconds it comes back to life and I can get many
minutes of use out off it before the battery really runs low.

Anyone else come across this?

I wouldn't leave a lithium ion battery on charge the whole time because a
full charge stresses the battery and shortens its life, although that
doesn't really account for your symptoms.

My friend refuses to accept this and insists her laptop is plugged on
all the time, even when using it. Maybe laptops are more
sophisticated.

She did the same with the cordless vacuum cleaner and the battery
failed in quite a short period.


Not all cordless vacuum cleaners are created equal. ;-). Your typical cheap
€œDustbuster€� type handheld do seem to die quickly if left on charge in my
experience.
