How can I prolong the battery life of my robot vacuum?

Robot vacuum batteries gradually lose capacity mainly because of improper charging habits, extreme temperatures, and long-term storage without care. Managing these factors ensures your vacuum stays reliable and performs efficiently over time:

Battery Charging Habits – Avoid letting the battery fully drain too often. Partial charges are fine, and using a high-power smart charger, like Phonix’s, helps optimize charge cycles, prevents over-discharge, and preserves battery health. This applies to both household robots (2600–5200 mAh) and commercial models with larger packs.

Temperature and Environment – Charge and operate your vacuum within moderate temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can speed up battery degradation.

Storage Practices – If you won’t use the vacuum for a long time, store the battery at roughly 50% charge in a cool, dry place to reduce self-discharge and aging.

BMS and Smart Charging – For commercial robots with large-capacity batteries, chargers equipped with Battery Management Systems (BMS) monitor battery health, track cycles, prevent overcharging or deep discharge, and enable safe fast-charging, ensuring continuous operation and extended lifespan.

Following these practices and using intelligent charging solutions can help your robot vacuum maintain top performance and a long-lasting battery.
