Vacuum runs for only a few minutes on a full charge before stopping; battery recharges quickly.

Safety first: Remove the battery before cleaning contacts.

• Test with another battery: Use a newer, higher-capacity Ryobi ONE+ battery. Compare runtime.
• Check usage mode: Use normal mode instead of turbo for longer runtime.
• Clean contacts: Wipe battery and tool terminals with a dry cloth to ensure good electrical contact.
• Replace worn batteries: If runtime is short on multiple tools, the battery pack is at end-of-life and should be replaced.

Short runtime is almost always due to battery wear rather than the vacuum itself.
