CHARGE BASE LOCATION
Choose a wall outlet that has a 3’ (1 m) clearance on both sides
and in front of the charge base. This helps your Botvac find its
charge base.
BATTERY CHARGE TIME
Botvac takes two to three hours to charge fully. The status
light turns solid green when the batteries are completely
charged. Several factors influence charging time.
• The charge level of the battery:
If the battery is almost
drained, charging will take closer to three hours. If partially
charged, it will take less time to reach full capacity.
• The environment of the room:
It will charge faster on a hard
surface located in a cool dry area. On hot days, on carpet,
expect longer charging times.
We recommend you charge the batteries overnight before you use
Botvac for the first time. Run through three complete charging
cycles to optimize the performance of the batteries.
