STEP 1 - Install
the New Batteries
• Locate the four screws securing the battery doors on the underside of your
Neato robot and remove using a hand held Philips head screw driver.
• Remove the battery from each compartment, making sure to hold both
sides of the connector with your fingers and gently pull apart to release the
battery. Pull the battery and the attached connector out. DO NOT pull by the
connector wires.
• Replace the batteries. Plug the battery connector in firmly until you feel it click
into place, making sure that it is aligned properly and the connector shapes
match up. Make sure that the battery is facing the proper direction, allowing
the battery door to close properly. Repeat this for the second battery.
• Place the battery doors back on the Neato, secure with the 4 screws and turn
the robot back over.

the Newly Installed Batteries (IMPORTANT!)

START

STEP 3 - Condition
the Newly Installed Batteries (IMPORTANT!)
In order to get the best performance from your robot and batteries, it is
essential to “condition” the batteries by running THREE FULL CLEANING
CYCLES, which means fully charging and fully depleting the batteries three
times in succession. Note: If you do not condition your batteries, your robot
will not perform at full capacity, so please take the time to do so.
Here’s how:
Cycle 1: • Charge your Neato on the charge base for at least 3-5 hours.
• Press the START Button and continuously run the robot until the LCD screen
shows “Low battery.” NOTE: you may need to press the START button mul-
tiple times until you see the “Low battery” message on your LCD screen. Do
NOT let the robot recharge before you see the “Low battery” message.
Cycle 2: • Charge the robot fully again.
• Press the START button and run continuously until the LCD screen shows
“Low battery.”
Cycle 3: • Charge the robot fully again (3rd time).
• Press the START button and run continuously until the LCD screen shows
“Low battery.”
Your robot battery is now conditioned and optimized for maximum runtime.
You can now charge and run your Neato normally.
