5.3 Charging

Recharge the battery when the vacuum's power indicator shows low battery. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently, as this can reduce its overall lifespan. It is generally recommended to charge the battery after each significant use.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Periodically inspect the battery and its connectors for dust or debris. Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the battery's exterior. Ensure no moisture enters the battery or its terminals.

6.2 Storage

If the vacuum cleaner will not be used for an extended period, store the battery in a cool, dry place, ideally at a charge level between 40% and 60%. Avoid storing the battery in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your battery, consider the following:

• Battery not charging: Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the vacuum and a working power outlet. Verify that the battery connectors are clean and securely attached.
• Short runtime: Ensure the battery has been fully charged. Over time, all batteries experience a reduction in capacity. If the issue persists shortly after installation, contact customer support.
• Vacuum not powering on: Check if the battery is correctly installed and fully charged. If the issue continues, it may indicate a problem with the vacuum cleaner itself or the battery.

For persistent issues, refer to the troubleshooting section of your vacuum cleaner's original manual or contact customer support.
