I just bought a Hoover Air cordless the battery pack says it's 20.0 Volt max 72 Wh Li-ion. How many Volts it the Shark..or which has more power?

The shark is 10.8V. I'm not sure which has more power but the shark has been a great little cordless vacuum I have 0 complaints!

I have a different model shark. After having similar problems with a short battery charge life, I researched online. Apparently many people have experienced short charge lengths. I still have mine because when it works it works fine. If allowed to charge a long time, charge will last longer.

Hello, thanks for your question. This vacuum does not use rechargeable batteries. It has a built in 12 volt battery which comes with a charger. The charger plugs into the device itself to recharge. I hope this helps!

Very light weight. I had a Hoover for 39 years and this is way lighter than that. I even look forward to vacuuming now. I also bought a Manual Bissell Sweeper for the everyday grass being tracked in, since our Texas grass is starting to grow. I used to have a battery SHARK sweeper, what a joke every time I wanted to use it, it needed to be charge. Don't buy anything that needs battery's ever.

The EUREKA S3681D draws 12 amps, running on standard 120 volt house current. Customer service person at Electrolux tells me this motor will outlast the motor in the red version of this vacuum.

I'm shocked! I used my new Shark for about 10 minutes and it took HOURS to recharge. Manufacturer instructions say not to keep it plugged in once it is charged. So I dutifully unplugged it and let it sit for a couple of days, then demonstrated it to a friend for less than one minute. Recharged again and this time it took 7-1/2 hours!! What's up with that? Is this normal? I don't care WHAT the manufacturer says - I think I'll just leave the sucker plugged it!

Vacuum has the ability to provide cordless or corded operation powered by either an 18v or 20v MAX battery or an AC outlet

I believe I asked the vendor if the new battery pack would work with my old Shark. You can put your old battery pack model # in (look on the battery pack), and they will tell you if it will work with your old one. I had old model also with AD-1215-UB charger (see bottom of your Shark). Hope this helps. My new battery pack has been great!!

You do not remove the battery to charge it but I'm sure you can remove it when it needs to be replaced. I gave up on the vacuum before I ever had to replace the battery because I couldn't get more than 10 minutes out of a charge and that made it useless for my purposes like cleaning dog hair out of my SUV and my furniture. Shark makes a hand held unit with a powered head which lasts much longer on a charge and does a much better job for 1/3 the cost. You don't remove the battery to charge it with the Dyson or the Shark.

As long as the tabs on this specific pack fit the tab holes on your Shark, it should be fine. I have found owning several Sharks over the years that most battery packs ARE interchangeable. To be safe, I would only buy from a place that would offer an exchange and/or refund. You can also Google the Shark site for your specific model. I have found them to be great in terms of service. Hope this helps you.

Short battery charge life. Shark customer service (if you can call it that) is terrible. Their replacement parts are so expensive, that it's not worth it. I would never purchase another Shark product.

Hey thanks, lol. I asked this question quite some time ago. I went with the 20 volt. It works great. I agree with you as I have done very heavy tasks with this. I ended up buying an extra battery pack. I works great now.

I do not know what kind of battery it is. It is 18 volt and recharges separately from the vacuum. The battery is recyclable.

This vacuum uses a smaller 18 volt battery than my drill did. It is apparently the newer designed battery. This one is a flatter design but there are two sizes of this battery and both work but if you have the older, heavier battery pack it will not work in this product. If in doubt which battery pack you have you can go to makitatool.com and check the part numbers that work with this product. This vacuum works with the Li-Ion battery not the Ni-Cad battery pack. These batteries charge in about 15 minutes.

First, I love my Shark...I use it, and just replace the charger plug and leave it in until the next time I need to use it. It is never unplugged.

I don't know what the 1.5 Ah is, but I checked on my 20 Volt Dewalt that I purchased and on the Battery pack, it shows the following: {20 V (Max) 1.5 Ah 30 Wh Type 1}. I guess it is the same thing. I just wanted to let you know that I love the power and the quick charging of the batteries. I keep both of them with me in my truck.

A couple of years sago, I found the battery pack available directly from Shark. Also, you can buy the individual battery cells and put together a battery pack (which was cheaper). A great vacuum cleaner, except for the batteries, which don't last long.
