I’ve only been using this battery for about a month and was away for 2 weeks after I started to use it. The battery life during use is longer than the official Dyson battery but of course its also way less expensive. I wouldn’t recommend using this battery if your Dyson is still under warranty because using it will void your warranty. It’s very effective and although the instructions says to uninstall when the vacuum is not in used I haven’t, but realistically who would really do that to have to reinstall to use. We got this vacuum for the convenience and that would be a huge inconvenience because a screw driver is involved with installing and uninstalling.
Update:
It stopped working. Once I got back from vacation it worked for a while, but stopped after about 2-3 uses. Now it just cycles on and off without picking up anything. I tried charging it, but that made not difference. Such a waste! You get what you pay for!!

-update-
The company reached out, sent a replacement battery 1 year after purchase due to no longer working and charging.
It's working great now, and the battery plug issue seems to be resolved, no problems on the replacement.
Great communication and support, with a big desire to fix the problem. Thanks!
-Original review-
Seemed great at first, but had to drill out the space for the battery charger plug because it didn't fit when charging.
Now less than 1 year after purchase, with very light household use, battery dead and needing replacement. If OEM batteries avg 4 years at 95 bux, 30 bux a year isn't a deal.

I got the battery super easy install, working like a champ, saved $60 or more compared to Dyson prices.
But, after about 6 months, the battery started lasting less and less. It got down to about 1 minute of runtime.
I figured I’d made a mistake and just dealt with it as long as I could.
Came back to find a replacement, of course the one I bought came right back up.
I read some reviews, they say it’s got a 1 year warranty, and I’m 11.5 months in so I reach out to First Power, not expecting much.
Within 10 days I have a replacement battery!
This one works just as well as the first battery from them, which at first, worked as well as the Dyson.
Let’s see how it holds up, but it’s hard to beat that customer service.
Good work First Power!

The package did not include the 2 replacement filters that were advertised in the product description. The battery was able to be installed and charged, vacuumed several rooms on the first use, then on the second use stopped halfway through. After charging for hours and days at a time the battery won't power the machine to turn on. This appears to be a common problem with this battery.
*Originally posted above with just 1 star, then changed to 4 stars for updated review.
Updated 07/29/21: Customer Service reached out and mailed a replacement battery for my replacement battery (this time with the extra filters and brush). Fortunately this one has continued to work through several uses, and to the maximum expected time limit (17 min regular, 6 minutes on max).
TIP: It helped me to immediately plug in the battery and use it until it ran out. After letting the battery cool down for over an hour, plug it in to re-charge completely and remain on the charger all the time. On the next use, use the entire thing until the battery empties. Then follow the same steps to fully recharge and discharge the battery on regular mode several times in order to...
