Dyson DC12 is an animal handheld vacuum that provides approximately 60 minutes of continuous cleaning between battery charges. Typically, a person removes the lithium-ion Dyson DC16 Battery Pack 12097 to charge it in the wall-mounted battery charger, replace it if defective or spent, or when repairing the unit or replacing other parts. The battery has a simple slide-button release lock. As a result, you should have no problem removing the DC12 battery within a few seconds of sliding the button.
