Hello, Janrt -

Depending upon how old the vacuum cleaner is, the rechargeable battery may need to be replaced so that the battery will hold a charge longer than it does now.

Rechargeable batteries do not last forever.

You will need to find the right replacement rechargeable battery for your vacuum cleaner. The web site for the maker of your vacuum may offer the right replacement batteries for sale.

Note: I have found that some replacement rechargeable batteries for some items cost more than the price of purchasing a replacement appliance.

Best wishes.

Hi
I am sorry to hear that your battery or charger are no longer working. I would suggest locating your local service center to have your charger and battery tested. Depending on the age of your unit, the battery may have reached the end of its life. Our service center would be able to determine exactly which is not working properly and determine warranty status. Please follow the link below to locate your nearest service center.

Thank You

Normally a battery flashing is an indication that the battery either needs to be replaced or is low and needs to be recharged (if it's rechargeable)

Bear in mind that rechargeable batteries, such as those used in the robot-controlled vacuums do not have an infinite life. There will come a time when it will no longer take (or hold) a charge and have to be replaced. If this is your situation, take the vacuum (along with the charging station) over to a place called "BATTERIES PLUS BULBS" (there are stores all over the US) - these guys can very often rebuild the battery pack for less than half the cost of replacing it.

Good luck!!

You have 3 options:
1. You could do a search under the part number of the machine for a parts break out diagram.
2. Open the vacuum, and do a search for the battery when you see the part number on the old battery.
3. Call the manufacturer for assistance.

the batteries inside are made up or two battery packs
5 batteries each.. so 10 batteries total
they are Sanyo KR-1500 batteries out of production
the substitute is Kr-1800sc a little longer amp hour rating..
(so that would equal a little longer run time)
you will have to make sure you get batteries with the soldering tab on them... as you will have to solder your own packs back together.. you can probably get the batteries on ebay for about 25 bucks on up...
or you can get the made up packs for 29 bucks each plus shipping
Part # 5KR1800SCEW from batteriesamerica (just search that part#)
and you will still need to cut and solder wires together to make it work... so another disposable product
but that's over 58 bucks and you can get a new vacuum for 50.00 not sure if the new ones come with the new batteries or the discontinued ones....

1) Test the power cord
2) Test the belt is worn and replace it
3) Test the motor need lube, and repair.
God bless you

Rechargeable batteries (usually Ni-Cd) have a finite life and after a certain number of recharge cycles (usually 500 times under optimum conditions) will loose their capacity to retain a charge as one or more cells will become 'worn'. Unless your appliance has a 'smart' charger circuit, leaving the appliance always plug-in will greatly reduced the batteries pack life due to overheating/overcgarging.
Unless you can test and replace as required the individual batteries, it may not be a cost effective solution to replace the batteries.
Hope it helps.
