About this replacement
Gorenje SVC216F Series — 22.2V Li-ion Replacement Battery (574545)
This is a 22.2V 3000mAh Li-ion battery pack for the Gorenje SVC216F cordless stick vacuum and related models including the SVC216FGD, SVC216FMB, and VC2932GS. It replaces OEM part numbers 574545 and 861790. The pack slots into the same battery bay and connects to the same BMS communication line as the original.
- SVC216F series compatibility: These models share the same 22.2V power rail, battery bay format, and BMS handshake protocol. The replacement cell block matches that architecture, so the vacuum's charge controller and motor driver receive the same signals they expect from the factory pack.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through load draw at the motor's sustained operating current and confirmed the BMS holds voltage without spurious overcurrent trips during normal suction cycles. Charge acceptance across the full cell block was even — no cell lagging at top of charge.
- Dock charging on this model: Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the charging dock continuously. The SVC216F dock does not drop to a true zero-draw standby — prolonged dock time accelerates capacity fade across the cell block. Charge to full, then remove it from the dock.
Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low
The SVC216F motor draws significantly more current when airflow is restricted — a partially blocked filter can push draw well above the normal operating load. The BMS interprets this sustained high draw as an overcurrent condition and reduces output voltage before the fuel gauge registers low. The result is weak suction while the indicator still shows two or three bars. Clean or replace the filter first; if suction restores immediately, the battery was not the root cause. A degraded original pack compounds this because its internal resistance rises with age, accelerating voltage sag under the same load.
Motor cuts out mid-clean then restarts after a short pause
This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a motor fault. When the vacuum runs over thick carpet or a partial blockage raises suction resistance, current draw spikes. If the pack's BMS trips, it cuts output completely — the motor stops. After a few seconds the BMS resets and power returns. Check the filter and brush roll for any restriction before assuming the battery is at fault. If the behaviour continues with a clean filter and a fresh battery, measure pack voltage immediately after a trip — it should read above 19V; below that points to cell degradation rather than a BMS fault.
