It runs mostly backwards, and in circles and will push itself up
My battery would only run the roomba for a few minutes, so I ordered another. When I installed and charged it and tried to use it, the trouble began. The seller that I bought the battery from said that the battery was not connecting and to push it in really hard. I tried that, and it worked a couple of times. I tried putting the old battery back in, and it would work a couple of times, then start the backward movement and circles. I've tried cleaning everything and blowing out the sensors with compressed air.

Make sure you have the battery in correctly plus to plus and minus to minus
