I have had this machine for number of years, Now after a charge it only
last for a short period. Is it the battery? If so is it worth replacing
the battery? Or should I go for a different model, either same of
different manufacture? Any help would be gratefully received.

Can you get at the battery? Maybe possible to fix depending on the cost.

Yes batteries are availble, but can I be certain that is the problem?

It can be the battery - people tend to run them hard and then put them on
charge, which means charging with a hot battery which is generally not a
good idea. But it can also cut out if the filters are blocked - there isn't
enough airflow through the cyclone (I'm not sure how it determines that,
whether by air pressure, motor loading, or overheat).

I'd give it a strip down, clean all the filters, and see if that fixes it.

Warning though, the filters are washable but you should leave them to dry
for 24 hours before reassembly. Dampness in the filters can kill the motor.

I recently bought one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264688248938

To soon to know if it will last as long as the 5 year warranty!

Nothing is better than a Dyson SV06, so buy nothing, instead.
