Battery and run time

7 of 8 differ

Battery voltageiNominal pack voltage, such as 25.2 V. A full-charge voltage, such as 29.4 V for seven cells, is not nominal.

18V1Maker product pagedewalt.com/product/dcv501hb/20v-max-handheld-vacuumRead 23 October 2026Footnote says the maximum initial battery voltage, measured without a workload, is 20 and the nominal voltage is 18. The pack is not in the box, so 18 V is the nominal voltage of the 20V MAX packs the tool takes.

21.6V3Retailer pageabt.com/Dyson-Car-Boat-Cordless-Handheld-Vacuum-58611901/p/218093.htmlRead 14 October 2026Specifications list voltage 21.6 V and 19.7 A. Best Buy lists 21.6 V in search results. Consumer Reports lists 21.5 V in a search snippet, behind a paywall.

Battery capacityiPublished pack capacity at the nominal battery voltage. A cell count times a cell capacity, such as "8 x 3,200mAh", is not a pack capacity. The cell capacity is the pack capacity only when all cells are in series. That holds when the pack voltage divided by the cell count is one lithium-ion cell voltage, 3.6 or 3.7 V, such as 8 x 2,200mAh at 29.6 V. The source note shows the check. When the maker gives a rated and a nominal capacity, the one that matches its stated Wh at the pack voltage is stored.

14Retailer pagemarkselectrical.co.uk/586121-01_dyson-handheld-vacuum-cleanerRead 14 October 2026Spec table says batteries included yes and 6 battery cells. The battery is built in.

Run time (claimed)iOne row per maker run time claim on one battery. Power level puts the maker's mode on a common scale. Lowest is the weakest setting, such as Eco or Min. Highest is the strongest, such as Boost, Max or Jet. Middle covers every setting between them. Claims that add a second battery are not stored. A handheld configuration without a motorized head counts as non-motorized tool. On hard floor with the main head counts as motorized floor head. Leave the tool out when the maker says neither or its own pages disagree, and name them in the source note. A machine with one power setting uses highest. When the maker gives a range, such as 20 to 25 min, the top of the range is stored and the range goes in the source note. A boost button or trigger counts as a setting, so a machine with one setting and a boost has a lowest and a highest row. A wet cleaning mode, such as Dyson Wet or Samsung WET, is not a power level, so it is not stored.
