Bep: The robot only drives for a very short time and then stops.
- The battery is not properly charged.
- The battery is not charged. Place the robot on the charging station.
- The battery is not charging? -> Make sure the contact points on the robot and the charging station are completely clean. Go over them with a scouring pad to ensure they make good contact.
- The battery is dead. Order a new battery here.
Battery degradation;
A battery's operating time will decrease over time. There are various causes for this, and it is not always predictable. What certainly helps is to always leave the robot ON on the charging station. This keeps it in the best condition.
The lifespan of the battery is influenced by the following factors: Is the robot always ON on the charging station? Surfaces the robot drives on, environment (does the robot have to turn and maneuver a lot, suction power strength (lower suction power means longer operation and vice versa), temperature (in very hot or cold environments, the battery will perform less). Also, the spread between batteries can be large.
Therefore, the operating time is always an indication and it is not predictable how quickly it will decrease.
