I had the same problem but discovered on opening up the unit that the motor was a bit stiff to turn. I therefore prised off the fan and removed the waterproof shroud only to discover some corrosion on the front bearing. A drop of WD40 did the job and now its working again good as new.
90% chance if that your battery is dead and no longer able to function at it's rated power, as required by the vaccum.
You will need to take the vacuum apart and locate it's battery. Look up the specifications of the specific battery type and reorder a new one.
If you can no longer find the exact battery, then you can buy the individual battery cells and you can solder them together yourself. If you do this, I would highly advise going with a trusted name brand battery. They may be more expensive than a 1:1 replacement, but the higher quality batteries often get their rated power specifications. You can even put bigger batteries than when it came with, just as long as everything fits neatly inside of the vacuum.
Assemble the new battery pack where the voltage is the same as the factory battery. The amperage, or capacity of the batteries does not need to be exact. This is where you can choose to use higher capacity cells. But remember, keep the voltage the same as factory.
Common battery types for handheld vaccums are almost always NiMh (nickel metal hydride). So choose accordingly. You may be able to use another battery pack from another vacuum brand, but the connecter may not be the same. You can cut the wires and choose any battery connector type yourself to make everything simple. A "Tamiya" battery connector set with a male and female connector piece will perfect for this job.
Good luck! This is a middle school education level project if you choose to embark.
