Possible Causes

Battery pack at end of life, Repeated deep discharges, Long-term storage without charging, Use of non-genuine replacement battery with low capacity

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before handling.

Steps:

  • Confirm charge: Fully charge the battery until the charger indicates full.
  • Measure run time: Use the vacuum continuously on normal mode and time how long it runs from full to cut-out.
  • Compare to spec: Check your Hoover model’s manual for expected run time (often 20–40 minutes). If actual time is less than half of spec, the battery is worn.
  • Inspect battery: Check for swelling, cracks, or overheating during use. If present, stop using immediately.

Resolution: Replace the battery with a genuine Hoover pack. Battery cells are not user-repairable.
