I need new Batteries for this stick vac they are numbered emx1600sS
I can not find a battery replacement on the web can U help
This battery works perfect too (for your model), take a look on amazon: Amazon com tenergy 2 3a 1600mah nimh. Cheers
The battery replacement for the PRONTO is not a consumer level maintenance procedure.
However, I just replaced the 4 original EMX1600sS batteries by anotther model with the same specs and my PRONTO is working fine now. The battery model is
Tenergy 2/3A Size Rechargeable Battery 1.2V 1600mAh NiMH W/ Tabs
Those are a little smaller than the originals but with the same capacity of 1600mAh and can be easily found in the web.
There are other similar models available that could be used but have in mind the limitations for the dimensions and capacity in mAh.
The dimensions of the original cylindrical batteries are aprox. 33 mm (1 1/4") X 22mm (7/8").
Anything under those specs should work.
Good luck.
Muraum, Thanks for the info. Easy to find the batteries on the web. $15 with shipping. I love a cheap easy fix. There was no way I was going to buy another vac just for the batteries!
If you look closely inside the pronto handheld unit there are actually 8 batteries (8 x 1.2v = 9.6v) which need to be replaced. The actual size of the EMX1600CsS is SUB C. You can replace them with 2000mAh batteries which will last longer:http://www.all-battery.com/nimh45scsubc2...
What's the scoop on the tabs? I get that they attach the batteries, but I'm not familiar with them. Do they just stick on?
Benshoemaker, AWESOME! I did this and it works great. Question though, is it normal air comes out the end of the handle in the square opening ? It comes out like an exhaust, can't remember if this is normal or not.
Benshoemaker - AWESOME. I did this and it works great. Question, is it normal that a lot of air comes out the end of the handle? There is a square opening in the very end, air exits it like an exhaust, I can't remember if it is normal or not?

Have the batteries replaced by batteries plus.. or another full service battery store that does that sort of thing.

Steve,
Just ordered the 2000mAh from All Battery, the size is identical to the Electrolux ones and as you say they will last longer.
I will need to dust off my soldering iron but should be easy replacement. I had been looking for a while but failed to see this type.
Thank you so much.
