Kärcher Battery Capacity Loss / Calibration Issue

Cordless vacuum’s LED battery indicator shows full, but runtime is very short

Possible Causes

Aged Li‑Ion cells with reduced capacity, Battery indicator not recalibrated, Frequent shallow charges, High‑load use on turbo mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use only original Kärcher batteries.

  • Recalibrate (if supported): Fully charge the battery, then run the vacuum continuously on normal mode until it shuts off. Fully recharge again. This can improve indicator accuracy on some models.
  • Compare to spec: Measure actual runtime and compare to Kärcher’s stated runtime for your model and mode.
  • Replace battery if needed: If runtime is significantly below spec after calibration, the battery pack has likely lost capacity and should be replaced.
