Nilfisk
High-Load Battery or Motor Inefficiency
Runtime is normal on low power but drops sharply on MAX mode
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Aging battery with high internal resistance, Motor drawing excessive current on MAX, Clogged filters increasing load, Poor electrical connections causing voltage drop
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Remove the battery before maintenance.
- Clean filters and air path: Reduce load by ensuring all filters and passages are clear.
- Compare runtimes: Time the vacuum on low and MAX modes. Some reduction is normal, but extremely short MAX runtime indicates battery or motor issues.
- Test with another battery: If available, compare performance. If a new battery improves MAX runtime, replace the old pack.
- If issue persists with new battery: The motor may be inefficient or partially failing and should be inspected by a technician.
