A Ni-Cd battery was selected because they maintain a steady charge until depleted. Although lower in voltage, you will have consistent voltage while the battery has a charge. By creating a battery pack, more voltage is provided. They are a common choice for power tools. Your sweeper is one such power tool.
Ni-Cad batteries charge differently that NiMaH batteries. And they must be stored in a cool, dry location. This includes your sweeper.
Ni-Cad batteries are the only rechargeable batteries which benefit from a complete discharge before charging again.
Obviously the battery on your Bissel Perfect Sweep Turbo model #2880 is not taking or not holding a charge. Possibly due to overcharging it.
- Once charged the battery should provide at least 60 minutes of operating time.
- If the sweeper is new and has not been used before, it requires at least 16 hours of uninterrupted charging.
- After the initial charge, the Bissell manual indicates that you must charge it for 12 hours to renew the battery with the power switch in the OFF position.
- You really want to allow the battery to completely discharge before recharging a second time at 12 hours.
- You might have to do this again
- Do check to make sure the battery is not over-heating.
- When charging is complete - unplug the sweeper from the charger.
- If the battery still fails to recharge or fails to hold a charge, the next step is to contact Bissell Customer Services 1-800-237-7691 Monday-Friday 8:00am-10:00pm EST
- Saturday 9:00am - 8:00pm EST
