  • the at least one rechargeable battery may be releasably connected within the battery chamber by means of mechanical and electrical connection elements. It is advantageous if the at least one battery with the flap is detachably connectable. This makes it possible, when opening the battery chamber, to insert an inserted battery together with the flap into an easily accessible position for the user, so that the battery can be easily removed from the battery chamber and also inserted into the battery chamber again.
  • the electrical contact elements are held in a first position on a holding part, which in turn is detachably fastened to the inside of the flap.
  • the holding part of the battery chamber can be removed and the electrical contact elements can be detachably attached directly to the inside of the flap.
  • the flap is lockable in its closed position.
  • unintentional opening of the battery chamber can be avoided in a structurally simple manner.
  • the flap can be locked by means of cooperating locking elements.
  • the flap has a handle and the locking elements are arranged adjacent to the handle.
  • the handle is disposed in the region of an upper edge of the flap and each other interacting locking elements are positioned inside in the region of the upper edge. The closing and opening of the battery chamber is simplified.
  • the upper part for emptying the dirt collecting container can be removed from the lower part. It is advantageous if the upper part has a suction unit and the battery chamber overlapping lid on which a carrying handle is arranged.
  • the latter preferably extends in the region between the suction unit and the battery chamber, so that the user can take the upper part above its center of gravity. This simplifies the lifting of the upper part from the lower part.
  • the chamber can be equipped with at least two rechargeable batteries, wherein the suction device is alternatively operable with one of the batteries inserted into the battery chamber.
  • the suction device is alternatively operable with one of the batteries inserted into the battery chamber.
  • a suction device 10 is shown schematically with a lower part 12 and an upper part 13 placed thereon.
  • the lower part 12 comprises a dirt collecting container 15 with a suction inlet 16, which is penetrated by a suction nozzle 17.
  • a per se known and therefore not shown in the drawing suction hose can be connected to the suction port 17 in the usual manner, which can carry a suction nozzle at its free end.
  • the dirt collecting container 15 has a bottom wall 19, from which a circumferential side wall 20 protrudes upward, the bottom wall 19 facing away from the upper edge is designed in the form of a sealing edge 21, which extends in a horizontal plane and to which the upper part 13 is mounted flow-tight.
  • a step 23 is formed, which carries at its free end a downwardly inclined protective wall 24.
  • the suction device 10 is movable along a bottom surface.
  • two freely rotatable about a common axis of rotation 26 wheels are held, in the drawing, only one impeller 27 is shown.
  • the suction inlet 16 facing area a support wheel 28 freely rotatably held.
  • the upper part 13 comprises a suction unit 30 with an electric motor 31 and a suction turbine 32.
