6.1 Initial Charge

After installation, place your Roomba on its charging dock or connect it to the charger. Allow the battery to fully charge before its first use. The battery can be charged at any time without developing a memory effect, thanks to its Li-ion technology.

7. Maintenance

• Charging: Charge the battery regularly, even if the Roomba is not used frequently, to maintain battery health.
• Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is partially charged (around 50%) and stored in a cool, dry place. The low self-discharge rate helps preserve charge during storage.
• Cleaning: Keep the battery contacts and the Roomba's charging contacts clean to ensure efficient charging.
• Cycle Life: The battery is designed for 600+ to 800+ recharge cycles, providing long-lasting performance.

  • Ensure the battery is correctly installed and securely latched in its compartment.
  • Verify that the Roomba's bottom cover is properly closed and screwed in.
  • Check the charging contacts on both the Roomba and the charging dock for any debris or damage.
  • Confirm the charging dock is powered and functioning correctly.
• Battery does not fit or bottom cover cannot close:
  • Carefully re-check the battery orientation and seating.
  • Compare the dimensions of the replacement battery with your original battery. While designed for compatibility, slight variations can occur.
  • If the issue persists, it may indicate a specific fitment incompatibility with your Roomba model. Please contact customer support for assistance.
