An excellent way to counteract this is to keep the charger plugged in so the battery doesn’t discharge over time. If you’re not using the battery for a long time, set a reminder to charge it every two or three weeks. Original Dyson batteries don’t have this issue and keep their charge over long periods. Store in a cool place: Store the battery away from sunlight or any heat source. Make sure to charge the battery before stowing it away. It’s better than replacing the whole vacuum itself. Most (if not all options) are manufactured in China, hence the lower cost.
