A cordless backpack that will not charge is just a heavy backpack. The GoVac BP was bought so a cleaner could work stairwells, auditoriums and open floor without hunting for an outlet, and the charger is the single component that keeps that promise alive overnight. ProTeam part 106603 is the OEM charger assembly for the GoVac BP, listed as item 34 on the machine's parts list, and it is the replacement for a charger that has failed, been damaged, or gone missing with a used machine.
Buyers here are people with a working backpack and a dead charger - which is a frustrating place to be, because the expensive part of the machine is fine. In-house maintenance teams, distributor service departments, and buyers of secondhand GoVac BP units are the typical customers.
Before replacing the whole assembly, it is worth checking the charger fuse, which ProTeam publishes separately as 106924. A blown fuse presents very much like a dead charger and costs a fraction as much to put right.
Use cases: what this part is built for
- Replacing a charger that no longer charges the battery pack. The core use case. A GoVac BP with a dead charger cannot do the job it was purchased for.
- Restoring a secondhand machine bought without its charger. Used backpack vacuums often arrive without the charger, and no generic substitute is appropriate for the battery pack.
- Recovering from physical or cord damage. Chargers get stepped on, rolled over and yanked by the cord in a janitorial closet.
- Keeping a spare on hand for a multi-shift operation. Operations that run the machine across shifts often keep a second charger so a pack is always ready.

Frequently asked questions
My charger seems dead - do I definitely need the whole assembly?
Not necessarily. Check the charger fuse first; ProTeam publishes it separately as 106924. A blown fuse is a common and much less expensive cause of a charger that appears dead.
Will this charge a GoCartVac?
No. The GoCartVac cart machine uses its own charger kit, part 106218. 106603 is the GoVac BP backpack charger assembly.
Does it include the battery pack?
No. The GoVac BP battery pack assembly is 106621.
Can I use a generic 36V charger instead?
We would not advise it. The charger is matched to the machine's battery pack, and an unmatched charger is a reliable way to damage a pack that was otherwise healthy.
Is this a genuine ProTeam part?
Yes. 106603 is the OEM ProTeam part number listed on the GoVac BP parts list and schematic.
