Possible Causes

Aged lithium battery pack, Battery not fully charging, High resistance in battery connector, Excessive load from worn motors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Power OFF the robot before accessing the battery compartment.

  • 1. Full charge cycle: Place the robot on the dock and charge for at least 4–6 hours until fully charged. Avoid interrupting the charge.
  • 2. Check battery age: If the robot is more than 2–3 years old or has many charge cycles, the battery capacity is likely reduced and should be replaced.
  • 3. Inspect battery connector: Remove the battery cover and ensure the connector is firmly seated and free of corrosion.
  • 4. Replace battery: Install a new, compatible Trifo battery pack, matching voltage and connector type. Fully charge before first use.

Warning: Do not mix old and new cells or use non-approved battery packs. Improper batteries can overheat or cause fire.
