Introduction
This guide will provide instruction for how to safely remove and replace the battery in the Shark UltraCyclone CH951 vacuum. The battery holds a 15 minute charge for 6 hours of charging time. If the battery cannot hold a charge for this time or is not charging at all, it may need to be replaced. The battery is connected to the motor, and will need to be removed along with the motor from the vacuum. This is a moderately difficult process.
Note: If there are exposed wires or any defects noticeable, proceed with caution as other issues may cause risk.
