Why Choose Battery-Powered?
Working at Height
Scaffolding, roofing, towers - no power cables to manage or trip hazards. Essential for rope access work and multi-storey buildings.
Remote Locations
Work in areas without power access. No generators or transformers needed. Perfect for rural properties and remote sites.
Increased Safety
No trailing cables means fewer trip hazards and no risk of cable damage. Safer operation in confined spaces and wet conditions.
Greater Mobility
Move freely around site without power outlet restrictions. Quick response to multiple sampling locations during surveys.
Full Compliance & Certification
This battery-powered vacuum meets all the same regulatory standards as the mains-powered version:
- HSG264 Compliant - Meets requirements for asbestos surveying and sampling guidance
- BS EN 1822 - ULPA H14 filter independently tested and certified
- 6-Month DOP Certification - Fully tested before dispatch with certificates included
Note: While this vacuum meets HSG264 surveying standards and uses the same ULPA H14 filtration as our BS 8520-3:2009 certified models, battery-powered vacuums currently fall outside the specific BS 8520-3:2009 certification scope which applies to mains-powered units.
Powerful Cordless Performance
Brushless Digital Motor - 190 Watts Cleaning Power
High-efficiency brushless digital motor delivers 190 watts of cleaning power with 40 CFM (cubic feet per minute) suction. Powerful enough for professional asbestos work yet runs quietly at just 67 decibels - significantly quieter than mains-powered alternatives. Perfect for noise-sensitive environments like occupied buildings, hospitals, and schools.
30+ Minute Runtime with Fast Recharge
22-volt lithium battery provides 30+ minutes of continuous operation per charge - enough for most surveying and sampling work. Recharges fully in just 1 hour, allowing multiple work sessions per day. Includes multi-region charger with UK, USA and European power cords.
Lightweight & Portable Design
At just 5.08kg, this cordless vacuum is even lighter than the mains-powered version. Built using high-impact Starex flame-retardant polymer for durability. Tool box design keeps all accessories contained in the vacuum lid for ultimate portability.
Enhanced Safety Features
Built-In Airflow Indicator Light
Continuous monitoring system connected to sensor and circuit board. The indicator light illuminates if air speed drops below 20m/s - the minimum safe level for Type-H vacuum operation. Alerts you to check for blockages or filter replacement needs.
Permanently Attached Heavy-Duty Retention Plug
Unlike removable plugs that can be misplaced, this vacuum features a permanently attached heavy-duty filter retention plug. Ensures maximum safety when transporting or storing the vacuum - you can't accidentally leave it unsealed. Critical for preventing asbestos fibre escape during transport between sites.
Immediate Containment ULPA H14 Filtration
1 US Gallon (4.5L) ULPA filter rated at 99.999% efficiency at 0.12 microns. Three-layer, 56-pleat media construction (cellulose, high-performance glass silicate, and polyester layers) captures asbestos fibres, lead dust, silica, mold and other hazardous particulates. Fully compliant with BS EN 1822 H14 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last per charge?
The 22-volt lithium battery provides 30+ minutes of continuous operation per charge. This is typically sufficient for most surveying and sampling work. For extended projects or all-day use, we recommend purchasing a spare battery so you can swap batteries and continue working while the other charges.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?
The battery recharges fully in just 1 hour using the included charger. The charger comes with UK, USA, and European power cords, making it ideal for international work. This fast recharge time allows multiple work sessions per day.
Can I buy spare batteries?
Yes. Spare 22-volt batteries are available. We highly recommend having at least one spare battery if you're using the vacuum for all-day work or conducting multiple surveys. Batteries can be swapped in seconds, and having one charging while another is in use ensures continuous operation throughout your workday.
Will the battery degrade over time?
Like all lithium batteries, the capacity will gradually decrease over many charge cycles. However, with proper care (avoiding complete discharge, storing at moderate temperatures), the battery should maintain good performance for several years. When replacement is eventually needed, batteries are readily available. The vacuum's brushless digital motor is also more efficient than traditional motors, maximizing battery life per charge.
How quickly can I receive this vacuum?
Battery vacuums are generally available for immediate dispatch. Occasionally DOP testing may be required before dispatch which could add 1-2 days to the lead time. Please call us on 0800 756 1331 to check current availability and confirm delivery time for your order. FREE UK mainland delivery is included.
Is this certified to BS 8520-3:2009 like the mains-powered version?
This vacuum meets HSG264 surveying standards and uses the same ULPA H14 filtration as our BS 8520-3:2009 certified models. However, battery-powered vacuums currently fall outside the specific BS 8520-3:2009 certification scope, which applies to mains-powered units. It still includes 6-month DOP certification and is suitable for professional asbestos work including surveying and non-licensed removal.
What makes this better than the mains-powered version?
Choose the battery version if you:
- Work at height frequently (scaffolding, roofing, towers, rope access)
- Need to access remote locations without power
- Want to eliminate trailing cable trip hazards
- Require quieter operation (67dB vs 70+ dB on mains version)
- Need maximum portability and independence from power sources
Is the 6-month DOP certification included in the price?
Yes, absolutely. Every vacuum is fully DOP (dispersed oil particulate) tested with 6-month certification included at no additional cost. Your vacuum is automatically registered with our DOP testing partner who will send reminders when re-testing is due (approximately £120 + VAT every 6 months).
What's the permanently attached retention plug?
Unlike removable plugs that can be misplaced, this vacuum features a permanently attached heavy-duty filter retention plug. It's always with the vacuum and ensures you can't accidentally transport or store the unit unsealed. This is critical for preventing asbestos fibre escape when moving between sites. It's a significant safety improvement over standard removable plug designs.
How do I know when the filter needs replacing?
This vacuum features a built-in indicator light connected to an airflow sensor. If air speed drops below 20m/s (the minimum safe level), the light illuminates. First, check all accessories for blockages. If no blockages are found, the filter is full and needs replacing during your next 6-monthly DOP re-testing. Never replace asbestos vacuum filters yourself - this must be done by accredited professionals.
What's included in the package?
Everything you need for cordless operation:
- 22V lithium battery (30+ min runtime)
- Multi-region charger (UK, USA, European cords)
- 10ft stretch hose for extended reach
- Drilling enclosure for surveying
- Complete tool set (crevice tool, brushes, gooseneck, utility nozzle)
- Shoulder strap, hose plugs, asbestos waste bags
- ULPA H14 filter pre-installed
- 6-month DOP and electrical test certificates
Is this approved for Fire Service use?
Yes. Fire Services across the UK have chosen battery-powered Atrix vacuums for emergency response vehicles where portability and independence from power sources are essential. The cordless design is particularly valuable for emergency situations where power may be unavailable or unsafe.
