Anybody can provide me with the instructions on how to mod my scooba 330 power supply for 240v? Model of th PS is L13143.. Thanks in adv...

The L13143 is slightly more complicated than the 13143 or roomba 17062 PSU.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated....

This is what I did and my Scooba is working. :s12:
1. Changed C1 to 100uF 400V -> Remove C1,C2 and used only one.
2. Changed RV1 to 380V Varistor
3. Changed D11 to 1N400* -> you can use 1N4001-1N4007.
You can buy all these for around $5 at Sim Lim Tower.

You are right, it's the battery capacity & the faster speed of 380 that makes it possible to clean 850 sqft. The tank is basically the same and you will need to refill or empty it.
