Although not battery operated, we have been using a SterilWand for
the last couple of years to treat mould outbreaks on building
surfaces.  Treatment appears to be effective thus far.  See

or

Please note the Health and Safety requirements for this unit.  We
set it up to run only when personnel are not exposed to the UV
light, i.e. we set up the light insitu and then run timed exposures
using a remote switch.
