APS vs Ni/Cad
When it comes to rechargable batteries this APS is great.Much better then the the old Ni/Cads. The APS bateries tend to maintain a higher power output level the the old nicads.Odd thing but the longer you use it the better it becomes.Soon it'll recharge fully in about 2 1/2 hours. Important but when you first get it follow the instructions,no cheating.A full 24 hour first charge.No over night charge. A Full 24 hours. Frederick Jamnetski SINY

Disaster experience with Amazon, still not end yet
I ordered this iRobot Roomba battery on 5/4 and wanted to use it within a week (since the seller Buy it Now said the battery is in stock). However after days I received an email said that the battery is on back order and I need to wait one to two weeks. Then I found out that Buy it Now already charged battery cost to my credit card, it is very hard for me to cancel the order, so I said I must wait for one or two weeks.
My conclusion is that, I will not order anything from Amazon any more, Amazon is a bad place to let a bunch of lier and cheaters to use thier website to cheat people.
The following is a mail I sent to Buy it Now Store.
Hi,

I ordered this product on 5/4, today is 6/4, you told me first time I need to wait for two weeks, then one more week, now it is more than 4 weeks. When I ordered it , it says in stock; I promised my friend to get it in a week. Why you charged to my credit card immediately on 5/4, if you don't have the product? You are really a bunch of liers and cheaters. You totally waste my time, it's really a disaster.
Please tell me what to do, either return the money back ASAP or send the battery to me immediately.

Works as advertised - but true problem was in the IRobot software
There is a major bug in the IRobot software for versions prior to 2005 I believe (maybe 2004) which causes the robot to stop working and for batteries to charge improperly. They have a fix - send it to you free - and you ship it back (its a usb plug in device) free because they provide the envelope - Try the software fix before the battery.

Works, just wish for a little longer.
I am not sure if this battery lasts any longer than the original. But it does last about the same. I hope the total life lasts longer than the original.
