Possible Causes

Aged Li‑Ion battery with reduced capacity, Battery not fully charged, High resistance at battery contacts, Internal battery cell imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use only original Kärcher batteries and chargers.

  • Fully charge battery: Charge the battery until the charger indicates full. Then test the vacuum on low power first.
  • Test with another battery: If available, try a second Kärcher battery. If the vacuum runs normally, the original battery is failing and should be replaced.
  • Clean contacts: Wipe the battery and vacuum contacts with a dry cloth. Ensure the battery locks firmly into place.
  • Monitor runtime: If runtime is significantly shorter than specified even after full charge, replace the battery pack.
