Finding the model number

It's worth a look at the rating plate first, because names get reused across generations. Rating plate on the base of the machine.

When to change them

Wash the filter unit at least once a month, or when the LCD filter alert shows; dry fully before refitting. (source)

Washable filters go back in bone dry or not at all. A damp one smells, and on some machines it can let the motor pull moisture through.

A battery doesn't die overnight. The run time on a full charge shrinks month by month, and once it won't get you round the house it's time for a new one.

If it cuts out with charge left, look for a blockage in the wand or filter before you blame the battery. A clogged machine can stop just like a flat one.
