Do you switch attachments for hard floor and carpet?

Yes, there is an attachment for hard floor and I switch them.

What's the difference between this and the absolute outsize ?

The difference between the Gen5Detect Absolute and Gen5Outsize is that the Gen5Outsize comes with an additional battery, larger bin, and larger cleaner head for faster clean ups.

Why does this not have as much suction as the Gen5Detect?

They do have the same suction. What you found is just the minor loss of suction between the "digital motor bars" --- the head used for carpets/rugs. This head is slightly wider on the outsized. So, same motor, wider intake area, technically yields slightly less suction. You'd have to be in a test lab w/measuring gear to notice. If you have only hard floors, this head isn't required as the fluffy optic head, which is same width on both machines, is able to yield very clean floors due to the laser lighting up the dirt.

How do you get the back of the battery mount out ?

The vacuum slides down into the charger . I have my charger mounted on my garage wall next to an electric outlet.
