Battery and Charging Information

For the best results, only use the iRobot Lithium Ion Battery that 
comes with the Roomba. While the Roomba will operate with older 
model batteries, its performance will be limited. 

Lithium Ion Battery

Important:

 Lithium ion batteries and products that contain lithium ion 

batteries are subject to stringent transportation regulations. If you need to 
ship this product (with the battery included) for service, travel or any other 
reason, you MUST comply with the following shipping instructions: 

Battery Charging

To extend battery life, always keep the Roomba charged on the 
Home Base when not in use.

Problems While Charging

If the Roomba encounters an error while charging, its 
troubleshooting indicator (

) will blink, and you will hear an audible 

charging error message. Charging errors can sometimes occur 
with counterfeit batteries. Check to ensure that you are using an 
authentic iRobot Lithium Ion Battery and consult the 

iRobot HOME

 

App

 or visit 

global.irobot.com

 to troubleshoot these issues.

Battery Storage

If storing the Roomba off of the Home Base, remove the battery first. 
Then store the Roomba and the battery in a cool, dry place. 

Battery Disposal

Contact your local waste management authority for battery 
recycling and disposal regulations in your area.

 

» Remove the lithium ion battery from the product

 

»  Place a piece of tape over the battery’s metal charging contacts

 

»  Reinstall the battery (with the tape on it) in the product and secure 

the battery door 

 

»  Package the product in its original packaging or in your own 

packaging that prevents any movement during transportation

 

» Ship via ground transportation only (no air shipping)
