Possible Causes

Battery not fully cycled regularly, Age-related drift in battery management system, Mixed use of multiple batteries with different ages, Faulty battery electronics

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Monitor the vacuum during use and avoid running the battery to complete shutdown repeatedly.

  • 1. Perform a calibration cycle:
    • Fully charge the battery until the charger indicates full.
    • Use the vacuum on normal mode until it stops by itself.
    • Allow the battery to cool, then fully recharge without interruption.
  • 2. Observe LED behaviour: After calibration, check if the indicator is more accurate.

If the indicator remains erratic and runtime is also poor, replace the battery pack.
