Batteries for Beldray Electric Carpet Sweeper

[Old Sparky]

I've not dealt with Beldray or their distributors before, but £6.49 does indeed seem to be a very reasonable price for the lower part of the handle c/w batter(y(ies). When borugh to me there were no batteries in the sweeper, so I've no idea what it uses.

I've now received the complete Lower handle assembly c/w battery. Hopefully when fitted, the sweeper will work again, as there doesn't sem to be anything else amiss.

Curious now...... What about a pic of the battery for interest's sake?

The Sweepr is in my workshop, Chris, but I'll take a picture of the 'lower extension pole with built-in battery' as Beldray term it, and post it on here. Basically the 'pole, etc.' is a sealed metal tube about 2ft. long, terminated at the bottom end with a 3-way female connector, and at the top end with a bulb. The actual battery is totally inaccesible inside the tube, but presumably consists of 4 NiMh rechargeable cells in series to produce nominally 4.8v to power the small DC motor fitted in the machine's base.

Having obtained a suitable 4.5v Charger from CPC for about £6.00)Why don't Beldray supply them?), the sweeper is now up and running again
