Frequently Asked Questions About Batteries

• Tips and Warnings for Vacuum Cleaner Batteries

  Tips:

  1. It is recommended to perform one complete discharge and charge every three months to maintain battery calibration.
  2. Use the vacuum cleaner at appropriate power settings to conserve battery life whenever possible.
  3. Turn off the vacuum cleaner when not in use instead of leaving it on standby.
  4. After storing the vacuum cleaner battery for a while, it may appear fully charged after a short time when reconnected; simply remove and reinsert the battery to resume normal charging.

  Warnings:

  1. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner continuously at maximum power when not necessary, as it drains the battery faster.
  2. Do not attempt to use the battery with other devices or non-compatible chargers.
  3. Avoid fully and repeatedly discharging the battery, as lithium-ion batteries can be damaged if the voltage drops too low.
  4. Never attempt to jump-start or use the battery in a car charger or other power source; this can damage the battery and the vacuum cleaner.
  5. If the battery will not be used for a month or longer, charge it fully and store it in a cool, dry place. The battery will self-discharge slightly during storage and should be recharged before next use..

• How to Properly Charge a New Vacuum cleaner Battery?

  When you purchase a new vacuum cleaner or a replacement battery, proper charging, discharging, use, and storage will maximize battery life and performance. Even before using your vacuum cleaner for the first time, it's crucial to understand how to charge and care for the battery to ensure long-lasting, efficient operation.

  1. Charging and Discharging
     When using a new battery, it's recommended to fully discharge the battery (approximately 5% remaining) before charging it for the first time, then charge it to 100%. Do this for at least the first two charging cycles to help the battery establish its optimal charging performance and maximize the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery.
  2. Storage
     If you don't plan to use the vacuum cleaner for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a dry, cool place. Only install and charge the battery when you plan to use the vacuum cleaner. Avoid leaving the battery plugged in for extended periods without using it, as leaving it fully charged for extended periods can reduce its capacity. It's recommended to charge the battery to approximately 40–60% before storing it, and check the charge status regularly.
  3. Temperature and Climate
     One of the main causes of battery failure is overheating. Avoid exposing the vacuum cleaner or its battery to high temperatures (such as in a car or direct sunlight). Ensure good ventilation during use to prevent dust from accumulating on the battery connector or charging dock. Some batteries have overheat protection that automatically stops charging if overheated, so maintaining a moderate battery temperature is crucial.
  4. Power Supply and Usage Habits
     When using the vacuum cleaner, choose the appropriate suction power setting to reduce the load on the battery. Avoid running the vacuum cleaner at high power for extended periods of time; if possible, continue use after brief interruptions. Follow the manufacturer's charger and charging instructions to ensure safe and efficient battery charging.

• Recommendations and prohibitions for using the battery

  What to do with the battery:
  

  1. Fully charge/discharge the battery for 3 cycles before achieving the full capacity of the new battery.
  2. Fully discharge and then fully charge the battery every two to three weeks to check its condition.
  3. Run the device on battery power until it shuts down or a low battery warning appears. Then charge the battery according to the user manual.
  4. If the battery will not be used for a month or longer, remove it from the device and store it in a cool, dry, and clean place. Recharge the battery after the storage period.
  5. Ensure maximum battery performance by optimizing the device's power management features. Further instructions can be found in the manual.

  Battery precautions:
  

  1. Do not short-circuit. Short-circuiting can cause serious damage to the battery.
  2. Do not drop, hit, or otherwise abuse the battery, as this may expose the cell's contents, which are corrosive.
  3. Do not expose the battery to moisture or rain.
  4. Keep the battery away from fire or other sources of extreme heat. Do not incinerate. Exposing the battery to extremely high temperatures can cause an explosion.

• My Vacuum Cleaner Battery Won’t Charge. What Should I Do?

  We know it's frustrating when a vacuum cleaner can't be charged. Here are some practical tips for you.

  1. Check the Battery First
     Sometimes the battery is just worn out or defective. The easiest and most reliable solution is to replace it with a compatible battery from our store. This saves you time and ensures your vacuum works like new.
  2. Check the adapter or Dock
     A damaged charger or charging dock can stop the battery from charging. If your charger looks worn or isn’t working properly, use a replacement charger from our store—it’s a small investment that prevents bigger problems later.
  3. Internal Issues with the Vacuum
     In rare cases, the vacuum cleaner's internal circuitry may prevent charging. Do not attempt to open it yourself. Contact our friendly customer support team – we’ll guide you to the safest and most economical solution.
  4. Quick Action Steps:
     

     Try charging your battery with a known working charger.

     If it still doesn’t charge, replace the battery with a new one from our store.

     If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Team. We will help you choose the right battery and get your vacuum cleaner back in working order quickly and easily without unnecessary expenses.

• How to maximize battery performance?

  To maximize battery performance, you can take several steps:

  1. Avoid memory effect — keep the battery in good condition by fully charging it and then completely discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. An exception to this rule is Li-Ion batteries, which do not have a memory effect.
  2. Keep batteries clean — it's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the device.
  3. Exercise the battery — do not leave the battery in a dormant state for extended periods. It is recommended to use the battery at least once every two to three weeks.
  4. Store the battery — if you do not plan to use the battery for a month or longer, store it in a clean, dry, and cool place, away from heat sources and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH, and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to charge the batteries before use.

• Your battery has a different voltage than mine, can I still use it?

  Different voltages listed on batteries can be compatible. For example, the voltages in the same pairs below are compatible:
  3.6V / 3.7V
  7.2V / 7.4V
  10.8V / 11.1V
  14.4V / 14.8V

• Your battery's capacity is different from mine, can I still use yours?

  Yes. The capacity of a battery does not affect its compatibility. A battery with a higher capacity will simply power the device longer before it needs to be recharged.
  In addition to capacity, it's important to check the dimensions and weight, as sometimes higher-capacity batteries can be larger, making them impractical for certain applications, even though they are compatible.

• How do I know this battery will fit my device?

  Each device listed on our website is linked exclusively to goods/products that are 100% compatible with that device.
