Can you replace the battery if sweeper has been unplugged a long time and the power had bled out? It won't charge back.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I spent too much time on the Bissell Hot Line on hold to find out the answer. I have a long haired cat and the Bissell did a good job of picking it up the fur, but needed charging too often. I went out yesterday and bought a new Sharp Cordless Sweeper, which is charging as I type this. The Bissell will hit the trash.

The hand vac seems to be designed making a crevice tool unusable, ie, one that looks like the standard tool. I did not get one with the vac, which is normally an accessory. I believe the battery can be replaced. There is a cover over the battery that can be removed and I would assume that is to replace the special battery if and when needed.

I don't think you can purchase a battery. The reason being that people were installing the battery incorrectly so they do not sell replacement batteries. Any way that's what I read when I needed to replace the battery on my DirtTamer.

it comes with a NI-MH battery. Everything you need is with it. You have to put the sweeper handle together and click it on the sweeper itself then plug the sweeper in with enclosed charger for 7 hours to initial use. Just follow all the directions as best as possible and the battery should last for years. My older one of 8 years still has the original battery. Hope this helps.

Not good, not being charged for a year and used most likely really killed the battery. Look B&D up on google to look if you can replace rechargable battery. People who lose batteries for tools run into the same problem, no use - no charge - die.

The battery is not replaceable. I bought mine online from DazzlePro when they had it on sale and it's worth it. The battery holds a charge for a couple weeks without charging. That's using it everyday twice a day (sometimes 3). I don't know what kind of battery it has but I only charge it when it's low. As a side note, though, DazzlePro is currently having a BOGO sale on this toothbrush for $59. Great for Christmas gifts :-)

My mother said the sweeper had worked the day before but then sounded slower. When she charged the battery and put it on the sweeper, it didn't work. We really didn't know, but took the chance to order the battery replacement. When it arrived, she charged it then put it on the sweeper and it worked.

I'm afraid I can't help you as this was purchased for a friend who's battery died. The charger was used over night then unplugged.

I have had the vacuum just over a year. The battery (on a full charge) now lasts only about 5 minutes - if that - before significantly powering down. I've been trying to find a replacement, but am not sure what kind to get.

I'd start with the battery. If the unit has not been used in a while, the battery probably has lost it's ability to be charged.

I purchased my Dust Buster hand vac about a year ago and now it will not hold a charge. I am looking into Manufacturer warranty (2 years) to see if they will fix/replace vacuum.

It depends on the battery, I suppose. Like any battery, some are fresher than others. But...don't buy a new Swiffer. I just ordered a new battery for mine, instead of buying a whole new sweeper. I don't think I can post an external link, so type Sweeper battery dot com. (of course one word web address) They only sell new batteries and it just takes removing a couple screws to put in the new one. less than half the price of a new sweeper.

Sorry, I've never tried to replace the battery, so I wouldn't know? I really don't use mine anymore and I'm looking to get rid of it. It's just collecting dust in my garage.

I use my cleaner practically every day. My cleaner would only run for a short time too. I bought a new battery from amazon, now it is back to normal.

You have to plug a cord end into it. This comes with the sweeper. You do not want to keep it plugged in all the time because it will eventually ruin the charging ability by shortening the life of the battery. Only plug it in when it dies from use.

No good answer! I know when my Brinkman battery went out, I could not find a replacement. There are some battery stores that "might" carry it or go back to the manufacturer. One of the keys for the battery lasting a long time is not to over-charge it, which I do not do when I charge the spotlight in my car. When I charge at home, I almost always over-charge since I'm not around when the fully charge signal goes off.
