Wet cleaning headiA floor head that mops or washes the floor with water. Optional accessory means the maker sells a compatible wet head separately. Optional accessory only when the maker's page for this exact model lists a wet head as compatible. A separate Submarine edition does not make the base model optional accessory.

Battery and run time

5 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.

The Polish review gives 25.9 V with 99.72 Wh, which agrees with 3850 mAh. A Finnish retailer lists 21.6 V and its title says 29.4 V, and a battery seller lists 25.2 V, so the nominal voltage is not confirmed by a maker document.2Reviewagdmaniak.pl/123319/dyson-v16-piston-animal-submarine-opiniaRead 14 October 2026Spec list says battery voltage 25.9 V and capacity 3850 mAh (99.72 Wh).

25.69V1Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0GT28CSYMRead 14 October 2026Listing states power voltage 25.69 volts and seven lithium-ion cells. Not found on another source.

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.

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.

Full charge time (claimed)iThe maker's claim for charging an empty battery to full. A partial charge is not stored. Makers state different times per market for the same model, so it is per variant. Between the manual and a product page, the manual wins. When the maker gives a range, store the top of the range and keep the range in the source note.
