New Karcher BDP 50/2000 W w/ Wet 20” battery burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Lightning BDP 50/2000 W is a walk-behind battery burnisher for schools, offices, retail stores and healthcare floors that need a high shine without a propane machine. It spins a 20 in pad at 2,000 rpm, and Kärcher rates it at 26,000 sq ft per hour. The feature we point buyers to is the automatic pad control. It adjusts the burnishing head to changing floor conditions, which Kärcher says improves results and pad life and gives consistent single-pass shine. At 67 dBA it is quiet enough for daytime burnishing in occupied buildings, and the dust control filter and easy-access dust bag keep finish powder out of the air. This unit runs on three 12 V, 228 Ah wet batteries for about 3 hours per charge, and the charger is on board, so it plugs in at any outlet. Wet batteries need regular watering. If you would rather skip that, Kärcher also builds this model with AGM batteries. Controls are simple, so training new operators goes quickly.”
A 20 in, 2,000 rpm battery burnisher with automatic pad control
The Kärcher Lightning BDP 50/2000 W is a walk-behind battery burnisher for commercial hard floors. A 20 in pad runs at 2,000 rpm on a 2.5 hp motor, and Kärcher rates it at 26,000 sq ft per hour. Automatic pad control adjusts the burnishing head as the floor changes, and a dust control filter keeps finish powder out of the air.
This configuration runs on three 12 V, 228 Ah wet batteries (36 V) with an onboard charger, for about 3 hours of burnishing per charge.
Condition: New.

Choosing batteries
Wet or AGM?
| Battery package | Order number | Battery weight (3) | Watering |
|---|---|---|---|
| 228 Ah wet (this unit) | 1.002-044.0 | 378 lb | Required |
| 235 Ah AGM | 1.002-043.0 | 418 lb | None |
AGM batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Wet (flooded) batteries cost less up front but need regular watering with distilled water.
