Battery Storage and Charging

Roomba is powered by a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery. Roomba’s battery can last for hundreds of cleaning cycles before a replacement is necessary.

Battery Life

To extend the battery life, iRobot recommends always storing Roomba plugged in. For more details on how to maintain Roomba’s battery life, visit www.irobot.com.

Tip: If Roomba’s battery is warm, Roomba will wait for the battery to cool down before beginning a charge cycle.

Tip: For long term storage, iRobot recommends that the battery be fully charged and then removed from the robot and stored in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning Time

You should fully charge Roomba’s battery before each cleaning cycle. When fully charged, Roomba’s battery will last for at least one full clean cycle.

16 Hour Refresh Charge

When charging for the first time, or if Roomba has been left off the charger for a long time, Roomba will initiate a special 16-hour charge cycle. This extended charge refreshes Roomba’s battery and extends the life of

the battery. Roomba’s clean light will pulse quickly during the 16 hour refresh charge.

TIP: For best performance, always store Roomba’s battery in Roomba

with Roomba plugged in or on the Home Base. Charge Roomba’s battery overnight for the first charge.
