Battery Performance

Scooba is powered by a rechargeable battery. Scooba’s battery will last for hundreds of cleaning cycles before needing replacement.

Battery Storage

For best battery performance, iRobot recommends storing Scooba’s battery in Scooba with the power supply plugged in. Do not store Scooba’s battery in the robot if the robot is not plugged in.

Battery Life

Fully charge Scooba’s battery (up to 4 hours) before each cleaning cycle. When fully charged, Scooba’s battery will last for at least one full cleaning cycle. If you would like to run Scooba more frequently, you can purchase additional batteries and chargers at www.irobot.com. The battery should be replaced if Scooba cannot complete a cleaning cycle when fully charged.

16-Hour Refresh Charge

Under some circumstances, Scooba uses a special 16-hour charge cycle to extend Scooba’s battery life. Scooba will use this charge cycle when the Scooba has been unplugged for an extended period of time or during the battery’s first charge. The Power light will rapidly blink green during this charging cycle.

TIP: For best performance, always store Scooba’s battery on a plugged-in charger. Charge Scooba’s battery overnight for the first charge.
