Tornado EB 30/1 Wall Plug Charger K66459140

The wall plug charger (part# K66459140) is the standard charging unit for the Tornado EB 30/1 electric broom on Model 93222, the later serial-number build of the machine. Like its counterpart on the earlier build it is a plug-pack: the transformer is housed in the moulded body that goes into the wall socket, with a captive lead and a connector that plugs into the broom. An overnight charge brings the lithium-ion pack back to full.

Match the charger to the model

Model 93222 lists this charger; the earlier Model 93220 lists part# K66458390. The parts book treats them as separate items even though they perform the same function, so order by the model number on your data plate. If the machine needs to go back into service faster than an overnight charge allows, the quick charger (part# K66541970) is listed for this build as well and charges at a higher current.

When to suspect the charger rather than the battery

The two faults look identical from the operator’s side: the machine will not hold charge. Work through the charger first because it is the cheaper part and the more common failure. No indicator on connection, a full-charge signal within a minute or two of plugging in a flat pack, or the broom running only while the charger is attached all point at the charger. Inspect the lead at the plug body and at the machine connector; repeated flexing at those points accounts for most failures of this design.

Leaving a dead charger in service does real damage. A lithium pack that sits flat for an extended period loses capacity permanently, so a cheap fault left unattended becomes an expensive one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the wall plug charger do on the Tornado EB 30/1?

It recharges the lithium-ion battery pack. The transformer sits inside the moulded plug body with a captive lead into the machine, and an overnight charge returns the broom to full.

Does this charger fit both the 93222 and the 93220?

No. Part# K66459140 is listed for Model 93222. The earlier Model 93220 lists part# K66458390. The parts book keeps them separate even though they do the same job, so order by the model number on the data plate.

How do I know if the charger has failed rather than the battery?

Both show up as a machine that will not hold charge, so start with the charger: no indicator on connection, a full-charge signal within a minute or two of plugging in a flat pack, or the broom running only while the charger is attached. Check the lead at the plug body and at the machine connector, where this design usually fails.
