Possible Causes

Aged Li‑ion cells with reduced capacity, Battery not fully charging, High internal resistance in battery pack, Frequent partial charge cycles

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and remove it from the dock before opening any covers.

Steps to try:

  • 1. Perform 2–3 full charge/discharge cycles: Fully charge the robot, then run it until it stops. Repeat to help the BMS recalibrate.
  • 2. Check charging time: If the robot shows full charge after a very short time on the dock, the battery capacity is likely reduced.
  • 3. Inspect battery (if accessible): Remove the battery cover and check for swelling or deformation of the pack. Do not puncture or compress the battery.
  • 4. Replace battery pack: Install a new, original Gorenje Li‑ion battery pack with the same voltage and connector type.
  • 5. Dispose of old battery properly: Take the old pack to an authorized battery recycling point; do not throw it in household waste.
