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ﾃ｢ぎ┐s
started to ﾃ｢ぎﾅ電ieﾃ｢ぎ? after just 10-15 seconds of use and
displays a flashing blue ﾃ｢ぎﾅ斗ow batteryﾃ｢ぎ? 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.
Mine hangs on its charger. I kind of assume that Dyson's scientists know
how to make "safe" chargers.
The issue is not safety as lithium ions batteries and chargers are usually
well protected but that the battery is stressed when it contains a full
charge. I'm told it also physically swells.
Those smartphone users trying to conserve lithium ion batteries will not
charge above 80% or so.
I thought the software took care of that by its definition of 100%.
A Dyson doesn't offer the same degree of control
but leaving it on charge the whole time continually keeps topping up in
the most stressful way.
