Dirt Devil Gator Battery Replacement
Introdução
Ir para o passo 1If your Dirt Devil Gator (Model Number: BD10100) isn’t starting or staying on for more than 15 seconds, you may need to replace the battery. Follow this guide to replace the battery to keep your Dirt Devil Gator in use!
However before using this guide, you may not need to full replace the battery, just charge it! A dead battery is a simple problem with a quick fix to get you started vacuuming again quickly!
The battery on the Dirt Devil Gator keeps the machine on and the air flow working, so it can suction dirt and debris. A dead/damaged battery will not power on the device resulting in a possible replacement needing to occur.
Step 5 requires you to remove the battery from the motor. From there, you must desolder and cut wires to replace the old battery with the new one. Follow this guide to desolder and solder connections properly!
Before beginning, make sure to power off your device completely and disconnect from any external power source.

Note that these are reassembly steps, so not necessary. Some of this information should be in the introduction, and some in the troubleshooting page. Also, you could use a reminder bullet if it’s going to influence how the device goes back together.
Where can one purchase replacement batteries? I’ve had no luck searching online so far. Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

You neglected to mention one VITAL item, what is the part number for the replacement batteries or where does one find those? I've searched all over the internet and cannot find them anywhere. The company says they are NOT user serviceable or replaceable parts. For me, it's not a matter of being able to the job, I definitely can, but it is not possible without the parts.
Judging by the pictures, the battery seems to be comprised of standard sub-c NiCd cells.
You would probably also be able to use NiMh cells, which would grant you a little more runtime and can be bought pretty much everywhere.
