How long does it take to charge a robot vacuum cleaner?

The robot vacuum cleaner requires a charged battery to operate correctly. Each device includes a docking station - a base onto which the device is driven when charging is required. Many users immediately after purchase have a question about how long it takes to fill the battery.

How to charge a robot vacuum cleaner?

A rechargeable battery is an important part of a household device. In order for it to work for a long time and serve the entire period allotted for the robot, you need to approach it competently to charging vacuum cleaner.

The first procedure for filling the battery is of particular importance.

First connection

Modern devices are equipped with a new type of battery - lithium-ion and lithium-polymer. Their peculiarity lies in their unpretentiousness - they do not require special conditions for the first charge.

But more recently, manufacturers equipped devices with alkaline batteries. The peculiarity is that they work for as long as the last feeding procedure was carried out.

It is customary to charge such batteries for at least 16 hours without interruption 3-4 times immediately after purchase.

This will activate the full power of the battery and make the vacuum cleaner as efficient as possible. If charging was carried out incorrectly or was interrupted, the robot will clean in less time than it was set by the supplier.

Some of the models presented in the store have a special indicator.The system will indicate the moment when the vacuum cleaner requires a long charging cycle. As a rule, the first one in this case will be exactly like this. Subsequently, the vacuum cleaner gives special signals, indicating the need to stay on the docking station for a long time.

Not so long ago, the recharge method was a simple connection to the electrical network using an adapter. It was like charging a phone that constantly has to be plugged in and then unplugged again.

In this case, the procedure looked like this:

• turn off the power - the button is located on the bottom of the device;
• insert the connector into a special socket on the device;
• place the adapter in the power supply system;
• Disconnect the device from the power supply after reaching maximum charge.

But now everything has changed. The robot vacuum cleaner comes with a docking station, or, as is commonly called, a “base”. He himself determines when he needs recharging, and autonomously, without your participation, goes to her.

The control panel also has a "Return to Base" button. It can be used if the vacuum cleaner has completed the cleaning cycle and the battery has not yet been completely discharged.

In the modern version, the robot itself determines the charging level and turns off at the right moment. A person is able to monitor the quality and charge level using a special panel.

It is imperative to keep the docking station and the device itself turned off and disconnected from the power supply and not remove it from the robot base until it is fully recharged.
