Hoover LiNX 18V Lithium-Ion Battery - BH50000 - Long-Lasting Power for Cordless Cleaning

B.S. Evans: I've tried the no name batteries, nothing worked well. Either they run out of juice quickly or they don't make a firm electrical contact. These are pricey, but worked properly.

Amazon Customer: My advice is. do not buy any battery for your Hoover Linx vacuum unless the name and logo Hoover and Linx are embossed on the case of the battery. I tried four generic ones and none of them worked, what a hassle that was. Spend the money and get a genuine Hoover replacement battery.

alan k.: This replacement battery worked fine. I didn't want to risk ordering one of the 'knock-offs', which users said didn't quite fit exactly right. After the initial charge-up, the run time was fine. I use it in an office of about 3000 sq ft, mostly carpeted but some tiled, and it kept humming all the way through. According to the mfr code, it was minted in 2018, so less than a year before my purchase.

Amazon Customer: Battery arrived so quickly, earlier than stated. I charged it for several hours before the initial use. It is every bit as good as the one that came with my Hoover originally. I can do all the vacuuming I need to in one go and there is still plenty left. I love my Hoover. This is the first time I have had to replace the battery and I have had this machine for over 10 years. I can still use the other battery but it does not last for long, so I use it as a back-up. Great product!

TreeFarmer: I love the Hoover cordless vacuum. Just perfect for cleaning up small spills and general vacuuming. I got good life from the original battery, but it finally was going. I only got a few minutes of vacuuming out of a full charge and felt that it had served me well.

I purchased this new battery with some trepidation - some reviewers did not have good luck with theirs, but there's always Amazon's great return policy if there are problems, so I ordered.

When it arrived it was totally dead. No problem, I put it in the charger and after a few hours it was ready to go. Having run with the old battery for so long I was pleasantly shocked by how long the charge lasted. Ran with 3 bars for a short time, then 2 bars for a long time, and then 1 bar for a long time. I didn't wait until I got the flashing bar signifying that it was almost dead. I recharged before I got there.

I was curious if the battery was lasting really long or was it just my perception compared to the old and worn out battery. I checked the new battery and it is a 36Wh battery and the original one that came with the vacuum is a 30Wh battery. So, the new one has 20% more...

BumbleBeeTuna: This battery works great! I bought this as a second battery for those days where I want to vacuum larger areas and for longer periods of time. This battery lasts the expected 15 minutes or so, maybe more. Works just as well as the battery that came with the vacuum itself. I highly recommend having the spare around for the bigger vacuuming jobs and just in case you need it. The only real con is that I wish it were a bit cheaper. All in all, happy with the purchase and strongly recommend.

smsNC: After owning the Hoover LINX Cordless Stick Vacuum for several months I cannot imagine life without it. The only problem I have had with it is that the battery runs out of juice before I am finished cleaning. I have read in other reviews (and from personal experience with other Lithium-Ion batteries) that to preserve the overall life of the battery you should not continuously keep the battery in the charger or constantly recharge it if it still has a lot of charge remaining. If the battery is fully charged when I start cleaning I can time it just perfectly so it dies as I am finishing. However, if I just do a super quick cleaning I still have about half the battery life when I finish. The next time I use the vac with only half the battery life I am destined to run out of juice before I finish. I use the vac on about 1500 sq ft of tile and multiple short-pile area rugs. I also like to use the vac on my deeper-pile carpets for a surface cleaning when I don't feel like getting out my bigger, more powerful vacuum. Doing the "full routine" takes between 15-20 minutes.

Having this extra battery has made cleaning much easier and more predictable for me. ...

Woodsmithy: The thing about lithium batteries is that they run out of power without much warning. Sure there's a gauge/light on the vacuum, but if your not paying attention it can stop in the middle of vacuuming. Recharging a battery can put vacuuming on hold for an hour, but with a fully charged spare battery in the charger you can quickly swap batteries and resume vacuuming.

Added after more than a year:
I am not sure what all the battery/charger in/out discussion is about. During the last year,we have left the vacuum cleaner batteries in the charger and swap them as needed, without any negative affects. I treat these batteries the same as all my lithium rechargeable batteries in my phones and several cordless tools. When they're discharged I put them in the charger, and leave them there until I need them. Maybe the chargers have a different charging programs, or are smarter than others. I have not had to replace a lithium battery yet, and some of them are 5 years old. I think using a timer is a great idea to save energy, and I might use it, but it won't be because I have battery life problems.

PS The vacuum still runs like new. It's really handy for...
