Optimal Charging Practices for Your Robot Vacuum Cleaner


Proper battery care is essential to prolong the life of your robot vacuum's battery and ensure optimal performance. Here are some suggestions to maintain the battery health of your device:

Charge the battery fully before first use: When using the robot vacuum for the first time, charge the battery completely to maximize its capacity and longevity.

Keep the charging contacts clean: Periodically clean the charging contacts on both the robot vacuum and the charging dock with a dry cloth to ensure proper electrical connection and efficient charging.

Avoid extreme temperatures: Store and use the robot vacuum in a temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight or freezing conditions, as extreme temperatures can affect battery performance and lifespan.

Use the device regularly: Regular use of your robot vacuum helps maintain its battery health. Extended periods of inactivity can lead to battery degradation.

Replace the battery when needed: If you notice a significant decrease in the robot vacuum's runtime or performance, it may be time to replace the battery. Refer to the user manual for specific guidelines on battery replacement.

Clear obstructions: Ensure the robot cleaner has enough space around its charging dock and during operation to prevent airflow restrictions.

Check for damage: Inspect air vents and fans periodically for signs of damage or blockage, and clean or replace them as needed.

Dry spills promptly: If your robot vacuum encounters liquid, turn it off, dry the device thoroughly, and inspect for any damage before resuming operation.
