The ultimate in planned obsolescence...
Have you ever noticed how cordless devices increasingly have sealed battery compartments with non-replaceable battery packs? Some even come with instructions for how to destroy the device to remove the depleted battery pack for recycling at the end of the device's "useful life". So if you buy into this line of horseshit, the whole device is only intended to last only as long as the battery pack when the rest of the device could last considerably longer--and keep more plastic out of our landfills--if it were designed with a replaceable battery pack. Nonsense!

battery on cordless power nozzles
I'm not sure if the battery on the volt is designed to be user replaceable or not, but the battery on the Perfect power nozzle, which is very similar to an Aerus Electrolux power nozzle definitely is, it can be easily removed and a new battery can be attached, and the charger connects to the battery itself, not the nozzle for charging. It would be really interesting to have a cleaning comparison between these two battery nozzles, of course, some of this would depend on the vacuum it was used on but it would be interesting.
I have not seen replacement batteries available yet for the Perfect nozzle, probably because it's still pretty new. They will both give excellent carpet cleaning ability to a straight suction vac.
I recently read that Wessel-Werk was getting in to the battery nozzle market as well, that should be interesting if it's true.

The battery on the Volt or the Simplicity Freedom uprights can be removed by two screws on the bottom-back of the battery.Just remove the screws-unplug the battery and put on a new one.Some Simplicity cordless uprights have a clip latch you use to undo the battery and you can put a new one on or a second charged battery.These machines are liked for commercial use.
