Gorenje 467587 24V Ni-MH Cordless Vacuum Replacement Battery 493601

Gorenje 467587 / SVC240W / VCSP1002D — 24V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (493601)

This is a 24V, 1500mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Gorenje cordless vacuum range, cross-referenced to OEM part number 493601. It fits the 467587, SVC240W, and VCSP1002D models. Voltage and cell chemistry match the original specification exactly.

• 467587, SVC240W, and VCSP1002D compatibility: These three models share the same 24V battery rail, identical connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — which is why a single cell pack covers all three. Swapping between them requires no adapters or firmware changes.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on the SVC240W platform. The BMS accepted the charge profile without fault codes, and the motor controller drew rated current without triggering overcurrent protection at startup.
• Dock charging habit on Gorenje stick vacs: Do not leave this vacuum on the charging dock continuously. Gorenje's dock delivers a trickle charge after the pack reaches full — Ni-MH cells degrade significantly faster under sustained trickle. Charge to full, then remove the vacuum from the dock.

Suction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low

Ni-MH cells under load show a voltage curve that drops sharply when capacity is partially depleted — the battery indicator on the 467587 reads the resting voltage, not load voltage. Under motor load, actual cell voltage can sag below the motor controller's minimum threshold well before the indicator reacts. A partially blocked filter compounds this: restricted airflow forces the motor to draw above its rated current, accelerating the sag. Check and clean the filter first — if suction still drops early, the cell pack has degraded and needs replacement.

Motor cuts out mid-clean then recovers after a few seconds

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a motor fault. When the vacuum's filter is clogged or the intake is blocked, the motor stalls against restricted airflow and draws a current spike that the BMS interprets as a short or overload — it cuts power to protect the cells. After a few seconds, the BMS resets and allows the motor to restart. Clear the filter and check the intake path for blockages. If the cutout continues with a clean filter, the cell pack's internal resistance has risen enough that normal motor-start current is now tripping the BMS — replace the battery.
