What happens here

To install the adapter, first, locate and remove the original Dyson battery from your vacuum. This typically involves pressing a release latch or unscrewing 1-3 screws, then sliding the battery out. The presenter advises checking for any recalls on aftermarket Dyson batteries, if applicable. Next, position the new power tool battery adapter into the Dyson's battery slot. Secure the adapter in place, which often involves screwing it in using existing fastener points from the original battery. Finally, slide a compatible Milwaukee M18 battery (or DeWalt, depending on your adapter) into the adapter until it clicks, ensuring a firm connection. This process effectively 'supercharges' your Dyson vacuum.

Goal: Successfully replace the Dyson's original battery with the power tool battery adapter and compatible battery.
