I used to have a B&D dustbuster/vacuum combo that ended up the same way after sitting a while. Like you, I wanted to swap out the battery but the internals were so convoluted my odds of just destroying it anyways were pretty high.
I have a Craftsman 20v toolkit and they make a dustbuster/vacuum that takes that battery. It’s pricey at $200 but most anything would be better than my wife’s expensive RoboRock vacuum. It gets clogged moments into trying to vacuum carpet, granted its pet hair. Its no wonder they only do the robo-vacuums now.
I usually end up using my little handheld that I bought for around my desk for small messes or the corded Eureka for bigger cleanups, though that is a pain to lug up and down the floors. Hence looking at the Craftsman.
Thanks. $200 for "life" isn't that bad when this handheld one cost $60 and I barely got a year out of it.
