Battery Storage and Charging
Roomba is powered by a rechargeable battery. Roomba’s battery can last for hundreds
of cleaning cycles if cared for properly.
Battery Life
To extend the battery life, iRobot recommends always keeping Roomba charged. For
more details on how to maintain Roomba’s battery life, visit www.irobot.com/support.
Cleaning Time
You should fully charge Roomba’s battery before each cleaning cycle. When fully charged, the
Battery light will be green and Roomba’s battery will last for at least one full clean cycle.
16-Hour Refresh Charge
If Roomba has been left off the Home Base for an extended period, it will initiate a
special 16-hour charge cycle. This extensive charge refreshes Roomba’s battery and
extends battery life. While charging, Roomba’s CLEAN button pulses quickly. Note: For
best results, do not interrupt the refresh charge.
Charging Roomba
To charge Roomba, connect the line cord to the Home Base and then dock your robot.
Charging Lights
Roomba uses the battery icon light to indicate it is charging. Use this chart to determine
the status of the battery.
Recharge Roomba as soon as possible following use; waiting several days can
damage the battery.
For storage off of the Home Base, remove the charged battery from Roomba
and store in a cool, dry place.
When Roomba is on the Home Base, always make sure that the Home Base
power light is on.
