Possible Causes
Aged battery pack, Cold ambient temperature, High cutting load due to long grass, Battery not fully charging due to dirty contacts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep the mower docked while inspecting charging components.
- Clean contacts: Wipe the charging contacts on both the mower and station with a dry cloth to ensure good electrical connection.
- Reduce load: Raise the cutting height and pre‑cut very long grass with a conventional mower to reduce current draw.
- Temperature considerations: In cold weather, expect shorter runtimes. Store the mower and station in a more temperate environment if possible.
- Battery replacement: If the mower is several years old and runtime remains poor, replace the internal battery pack with a Flymo‑approved replacement.
