Suction and power

Suction power (claimed)iThe maker's highest suction power claim in air watts. Some makers write W for suction power. Test standard, mode and tool differ by maker. Regional pages can state different figures.

280AW1Retailer pageairpointsstore.co.nz/product/dyson-gen5detect-absolute-443066-01Read 20 October 2026Page says the Gen5 Hyperdymium motor delivers 280AW suction power.

Dyson's launch coverage in October 2022 and several Australian retailers state 262 AW for the same model. Dyson's later pages state 280 AW, so the current maker figure is stored.

Battery and run time

4 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.

36V7Retailer page123accu.nl/Dyson-Gen5-972382-03-972382-04-accu-36-V-2-5-Ah-origineel-i57936.htmlRead 20 October 2026Dutch battery retailer lists the original Dyson Gen5 battery, part numbers 972382-03 and 972382-04, for the Gen5 Detect (SV23), Gen5 Outsize (SV24) and Gen5 Absolute. Voltage 36 V. The same 36 V, 2.5 Ah, 90 Wh figures are on German Kaufland and eBay listings. Dyson publishes no pack figures and says only 10-cell.

25.9V1Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0GYPLWHKJRead 14 October 2026

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.

2,500mAh7Retailer page123accu.nl/Dyson-Gen5-972382-03-972382-04-accu-36-V-2-5-Ah-origineel-i57936.htmlRead 20 October 2026Listing says 2.5 Ah, about 90 Wh. All 10 cells are in series, since 36 V divided by 10 is 3.6 V, one lithium-ion cell. So 2,500 mAh at 36 V is 90 Wh. The listing is a retailer value for the battery part and no maker document was found.

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.
