Possible Causes

Weak internal backup battery on PCB, Firmware bug affecting clock, Power interruptions from loose battery connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and remove the battery before opening the housing.

  • Check main battery connection: Ensure the main battery connector is secure to avoid frequent power drops.
  • Update firmware: If your Parkside model supports firmware updates, install the latest version to fix known clock issues.
  • Inspect backup cell: Some PCBs have a small coin cell or supercapacitor for clock backup. If accessible and user‑replaceable, install a new cell of the same type.
  • Reprogram schedule: After any repair, set the correct time and mowing schedule again.

Note: If the backup power component is soldered and you are not experienced with electronics, seek professional help.
