Your Dyson

Dyson V8 is model HH15, SV10, SV10D, SV10E, SV10K or SV25

Only know your model number?

Look on the Dyson battery, next to its serial number. It is also on the serial-number sticker on the handle, hidden under the battery. It starts with SV, HH or DC.

Label says SV10? That is a Dyson V8, so you are in the right place. It is not a V10.

Fits these Dyson V8 models

  • HH15
  • SV10
  • SV10D
  • SV10E
  • SV10K
  • SV25

Not compatible:

  • Dyson V8 Cyclone
  • SV55
  • Built-in BMS protection
  • Copper terminals
  • 12-month warranty

Use your Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) batteries on your Dyson V8, with no new Dyson battery to buy. The molded ABS housing keeps it light and hard-wearing, and pure copper contacts keep current delivery steady. When the original battery wears out, it is a cheaper way to keep the vacuum going than buying a new one. It also carries battery protection electronics (BMS) inside.

Estimated from battery energy, allowing for the adapter’s converter. Actual runtime depends on the power mode and the attachment fitted.

What still works on your Dyson V8

  • The trigger works as before.
  • Every power mode works, MAX included.
  • Motorised heads spin as usual, from the Motorhead to the mini motorised tool.
  • Wands, filters and the bin are unchanged.
  • The Dyson’s own battery lights stay off: check the charge on your battery’s gauge.
  • When the battery runs low, the adapter stops the vacuum to protect it.
  • The light on the side of the adapter is green when all is well and red when power runs low.

Fitting it to your Dyson V8

It only takes a few minutes, and nothing on your Dyson needs to be modified.

  1. Undo the 3 screws

    One is on the right side of the handle, the other 2 at the bottom left, between the bin and the battery. Keep them: you will need them again.

  2. Slide the Dyson battery out

    It comes straight out of the handle.

  3. Fit the adapter

    Slide it in where the battery was and put the 3 screws back.

  4. Click on your battery

    Your Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery locks onto the adapter. Pull the trigger and clean.

Changed your mind? The original battery goes back the same way.

Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) to Dyson V8: Common Questions

Which Dyson V8 models does this adapter fit?

It fits the Dyson V8 range: HH15, SV10, SV10D, SV10E, SV10K, SV25. It does not fit the Dyson V8 Cyclone, SV55.

Will this fit my other Bosch batteries?

Only Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) batteries. Bosch also sells Bosch 12V, Bosch 14.4V GBA (Blue), Bosch 18V PBA (Green), and those use a different socket: same brand, different rail and contacts, so they need their own adapter. Compare the rail on your battery with the photos before ordering.

Will my Dyson V8 run as long on your Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery?

Runtime comes from the battery, not the adapter: a 5.0Ah Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery lasts roughly twice as long as a 2.5Ah one. For this pairing use 3.0 Ah or more, because a smaller battery can sag under what a Dyson V8 draws and cut out before it is empty.

Could this damage my Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery or my Dyson V8?

Used with undamaged, compatible equipment it is not expected to. This adapter has its own Battery Management System, which cuts power before the battery is drained too far, so it protects the battery even where the battery has no protection of its own. Stop using it if the adapter becomes unusually hot, the contacts look damaged, or the vacuum behaves oddly.

Can I charge through the adapter?

No, and it should never be attempted. The adapter carries power one way only, out to the Dyson V8: there is no charging circuit inside it, and the vacuum’s dock cannot charge through it. Always take the Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery off the adapter and charge it on its own charger.

Does it work with third-party Bosch batteries?

Usually. What matters is the socket, not the badge: if the battery slides on and locks the way an original does, the adapter takes it and the Dyson V8 runs. Aftermarket moulding does vary, so if yours looks unusual send us a photo and we will check before you order.

How much does it add to the Dyson V8?

111 g (3.9 oz), plus your battery, which sits under the handle where the original battery was. You notice the extra weight on stairs or when reaching up high; on floors it soon feels normal.

After the third battery pack of our Dyson failed I was about throwing that damn thing into the garbage. Yeah, big messy family, vacuums have a short half-life, don't judge me. Since Bosch Blau stuff was lying around already I was thinking some nerds must have figured out a more sustainable solution and googled my way to this shop. It took quite a journey for the adapter to find the way all over to Switzerland but at some point it was in the mail. Now this ugly sucker is back as strong as never before! Yes, it doesn't fit into the original charger anymore which sits conveniently into a cabinet purchased specifically for that purpose but on the other hand I have a pile of packs to swap. Sucking and swapping the whole week along!

Maarten Stals (Netherlands)

It works fine, but the button on the back of the adapter is way too easy to depress, unlocking it, and then quickly losing connection inside the handle. Also, the slide that accepts the Bosch battery is not as smooth as it should. The battery doesn't easily slide in and doesn't lock properly, although it's held in just fine by friction alone. Which also means it's quite hard to slide out. So all in all: functionality is very nice but manufacturing and tolerances are quite sloppy. Hope that helps.

Chris (United States)

It clips in nice and snug. It doesn't need the screws any longer. It would be nice if there was a stand to clip the vacuum into so it doesn't fall over. That's why the last battery adapter broke

Thank you for leaving a review. We will definitely take your feedback into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for your support and have a great day!

Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) and Dyson V8 compatibility

It works in one direction only: Bosch batteries powering your Dyson.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and vacuum model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) platform and that your vacuum is a Dyson V8: the model number on its label tells you.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering your vacuum and nothing else. It cannot charge Bosch or Dyson batteries and must never be connected to a charger or the vacuum’s dock. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your Bosch 18V GBA (Blue) battery.
