Morpilot stands behind their product When my Botvac battery died after about 8 months, I was pretty disappointed. And with replacement batteries running $50 from Neato (with only a 6 month warranty), I decided to try this half-priced replacement.If there is any difference between the Morpilot and the Neato in terms of run-time, I couldn’t tell. I’d say they both ran about 1.5 hours on a full charge on my mixed hardwood/carpet floors. Satisfied with that, my next concern was lifespan and warranty replacement. I run my Botvac three times a week, and each runs takes about 1.5 full charges.Lifespan:I got basically the same lifespan as I got from my OEM battery; the Morpilot died after 9 months, compared to 8 from the OEM. The new battery did last roughly one month longer, although that’s not a direct comparison because I did run my botvac a little more often with the OEM. I’d say that lifespan is basically equal.Warranty replacement:This is what I was most worried about. Some places make warranty a real hassle. You have to provide a bunch of paperwork, mail the dead product back at your own cost, wait a month to hear back from them, and then wait a few more weeks to get a replacement. But not Morpilot!Warranty was: 1) Me sending them an email with my Amazon order number requesting a warranty replacement. 2) Them emailing me back and asking me to take a picture of the batch number of my battery and send them a few details on how often I ran my botvac. 3) Me emailing them the photo and the details. 4) Them asking me to confirm my address to send me a new one. 4) Me confirming.This is one of the easiest warranty replacements I’ve ever done.With Morpilot’s 1-year easy warranty, you can reasonably expect to get 16-18 months of use out of a $25 battery. You’d be looking at $100-150 to get the same performance out of a Neato OEM battery ($50, and only a 6 month warranty). 32 people found this helpful
