The battery is charged to 100% by 6 a.m. However by 9 AM it’s already at 80%. and it goes down to below 15% by 5 p.m. at which time it starts charging again. All of these is happening while sitting in the docking station. It repeats daily. How can I minimize the battery drain while in standby?
If the mower remains in standby without charging for more than 10 hours, the battery may be drained. If you do not plan to use the mower for a short period, we recommend turning it off or keeping it on the base station to charge.
This is not expected behavior. The robot is completely discharging and recharging about two times per day, even when it is only docked. This will significantly shorten the battery’s lifetime.
At this rate, this represents roughly 700 full charge cycles per year, not even counting the cycles used when the robot is actually mowing.
There is clearly something consuming power that should not be active while the robot is docked. It could be the LiDAR, or possibly the wheel motors locking the wheels to prevent the device from sliding. Even with Wi‑Fi enabled, the power consumption should not be this high.
This issue does not exist with other mower brands. In addition, powering off the device when it is not in use is not an acceptable solution.
This is a connected device, and we do not want to manually power the robot off and on every time we need to mow.
Please provide a firmware fix to prevent unnecessary power consumption and avoid reducing the lifetime of the product. Otherwise, we would need to replace the battery every year, which is not acceptable for a product of this type.
