    Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus 60 has a surface cleaning head 3 with an upper casing 62 pivotally mounted to it. A dirty air inlet 2 is provided in the surface cleaning head and a clean air outlet 17 is provided in the surface cleaning apparatus. An air flow passage 9, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 extends between the dirty air inlet and the clean air outlet and has a portion 14 with a longitudinal axis and a substantial linear longitudinal extent. A motor and fan assembly 15 is positioned in said portion of the air flow passage, such that the axial flow direction of the motor and fan assembly is parallel and coplanar with the longitudinal axis of the portion of the air flow passage. The surface cleaning apparatus may also be provided with a filtration member 11 and may be in the form of an upright or stick vacuum cleaner.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided which uses a plurality of batteries that are sequentially used to power an appliance. While one or more batteries are used to power the appliance, one or more spar batteries are charged for subsequent use. The rate of charge of the batteries is comparable to the rate of discharge of the batteries by the appliance or faster. Thus the appliance may be essentially continuously used by the user removing the discharged battery and inserting a charged battery.
