Tornado Tempest Extra Battery Velcro Strap K63711520

This is the hook-and-loop strap that holds a spare battery on the Tornado Tempest. Tacony’s dealer record names it Velcro Strap, Extra Battery. It is what makes carrying a second pack practical on a cordless machine that is expected to cover large areas between charges.

What the Extra Battery Velcro Strap Does

A spare battery is heavy and it is being carried on a machine that gets pushed, turned and bumped all shift. The strap has to hold that weight without loosening, and it has to be quick to release when the packs are swapped. Hook-and-loop is used here precisely because it can be undone with one hand and a glove on.

Where It Sits on the Machine

It fits at the battery carrying position on the Tempest handle and frame diagram, anchored against the metal strap anchors.

When to Replace It

Replace the strap when the hook-and-loop no longer holds under load, when the webbing has frayed, or when the stitching has pulled. Hook-and-loop is a wear item — it fills with carpet fibre and lint over time, and once it is contaminated it will not grip properly again no matter how clean it looks. A strap that lets a battery shift in service is worth dealing with straight away.

Fitting Notes

Route the new strap the same way as the old one, against the anchors rather than over a sharp edge, and pull it up firmly before closing it. Check the battery does not move when the machine is rocked. If a strap keeps loosening, inspect the metal anchors for distortion before buying another one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a spare battery come with a strap?

No. The strap is a separate part number, K63711520, and is ordered on its own. If you are adding a second pack to a machine that never carried one, the strap and the metal anchors are the parts to check.

The strap keeps working loose. What should I check?

First, whether the hook-and-loop has filled with carpet fibre — once it is contaminated it cannot grip and cleaning rarely restores it fully. Second, whether the metal anchors it pulls against have bent or elongated their holes, because a strap that cannot pull square will never stay tight.
