Dyson Car+Boat Battery Replacement
Car+Boat-specific sealed battery assembly is not treated as an owner-openable battery-cell repair. Safe checks end at charging behavior, temperature, physical condition, and manufacturer-authorized service. This procedure is scoped to the Car+Boat and its cordless Dyson handheld platform.

Instructions
Safe checks before professional service
- Bright flashlight
- Clean dry lint-free cloth
- Power the handheld off, disconnect its charger, and remove a detachable battery only when the exact owner guide describes that action.
- Use only owner-access points and maintenance actions documented for the exact machine code.
- Do not use or charge a swollen, leaking, cracked, wet, punctured, unusually hot, or impact-damaged battery.
- Do not open the robot or handheld body, rebuild a battery pack, replace individual cells, or bypass a battery-management circuit.
- Do not open the motor, battery pack, charger, switch, wiring, control board, pump, sensor module, or another sealed electrical assembly. Internal diagnosis belongs with a qualified repair technician.
Confirm the Car+Boat configuration
Car+Boat is a bagless handheld body with a mini motorized tool. The verified owner-service profile identifies it as the Dyson Car+Boat dedicated handheld platform. Match the machine code and serial label before ordering a filter, bin, direct-fit tool, battery where owner-replaceable, or charger; a retail family name can cover incompatible hardware.
Confirm the symptom without opening the machine
Record runtime, charging indicators, app or screen messages, unexpected shutoff, and whether the symptom changes after the machine and charger reach normal room temperature.
Inspect only external charging hardware
Check the matching wall charger and handheld charging inlet and accessible contacts for damage, debris, liquid, heat, or discoloration. Do not remove an unlisted cover to reach the battery.
Arrange authorized battery diagnosis
Keep an unsafe battery away from heat and combustible materials and contact a qualified service provider for model-specific battery testing and replacement. Follow local battery transport and recycling rules.
Document the inspection
Photograph any visible damage and record the exact symptom, indicator, error message, and Car+Boat identity while the machine remains safely disconnected. This prevents an unconfirmed part choice during service handoff.
