Cordless vacuum charges but gets unusually hot at the battery or charger during charging

Safety first: If the battery or charger becomes too hot to touch, unplug immediately and allow to cool. Do not cover the charger while in use.

Steps:

• Move to cooler area: Charge in a well-ventilated, cool room away from direct sunlight.
• Check surfaces: Place charger on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface.
• Monitor temperature: During the next charge, periodically feel the battery and charger. Warm is normal; very hot is not.

If overheating recurs, replace the battery first. If a new battery also overheats, replace the charger and consult Hoover support.
