SEBO Charger for the BALANCE A1 — 120V, 60Hz, Two-Wire Plug

Position 8 on SEBO's BALANCE A1 parts diagram is the charger, and 95021AM is the North American form of it: 120 V, 60 Hz, finished with the two-wire AM-pattern plug that North American machines were built to take. SEBO spells the specification into the part name because a charger from the wrong region is of no use at all.

Chargers are seldom bought because they wore out. They are bought because a lead was pulled sideways from the socket once too often, because a pet found it interesting, or because a secondhand A1 turned up with nothing in the box. What the part does is more particular than the phrase power supply suggests: it charges the A1 pack, sold as 95020SE, to the figures SEBO designed the machine around, and the run time an owner gets between charges follows from that pairing.

Inspect the lead where it leaves the plug body and where it meets the connector, since those are the two points that fail first. SEBO also lists a wall mount for the machine, 8870AM at position 18 of the same drawing, for owners who would rather the A1 lived on the wall than in a cupboard.

Two habits keep a charger in service. Pull it from the socket by the plug body rather than by the cable, and coil the lead loosely instead of winding it tight, because repeated sharp bends at the strain relief are what break the conductors inside. Where a charger has already failed and taken the pack down with it, the A1 battery is listed separately as 95020SE, and the two are frequently ordered together.
