Bissell Pet Hair Vacuum Battery replacement with Rechargeable Nimh AA Batteries 

Great fix video! Very creative and clever making your own equivalent battery pack!

I have one of these I bought new several years ago. Believe it or not, the factory charger is 16V 200mA. The handheld vac fits into a larger upright "sweeper" has a fairly modest rotating brush that is powered by the handheld's battery (it's pretty effective on hard floors). That is the extra leads into the handle, where the contacts are when it snaps into the upright component.

i wonder if its capable to have an higher voltage

My Mother-in- law ran her Bissell 53Y8 with no filter in place. When i took it apart, all seems well, except 2 wore are not attached. Does anyone have a wiring diagram?

i have 2 that need this fix.. how much ? haa, haa!!!

If I have time :) LoL ,,,just buy new one from Target and they offer 4 years replacement like $10 + $110 for new one :) hehehe
