→Fig. 13 - 16

Battery runtimes

Here you can find information about battery runtimes depending on the battery that is in use.

Note: The maximum battery runtimes refer to operation in Eco mode with non-electric accessories.

The use of other vacuuming modes and accessories reduce the appliance's battery runtime.

Battery Maximum battery runtime

3,0 Ah 60 min

4,0 Ah Power+ 80 min

5,0 Ah 100 min

Notes

■ The display shows the battery charge level in per cent and the resulting remaining appliance runtime in minutes. Actual values may vary.
■ Like every Li-ion battery, the batteries from the Power for ALL 18 V series wear out over time, meaning that the battery capacity and the runtime decrease. This is a natural aging process and not the result of a material error, manufacturing error or material defect.
■ You can delay natural wear by taking the following measures:
- Activate the battery protection function on your appliance.
- Do not store the battery for an extended period of time if it is fully charged or fully discharged.

Operating the appliance

Note: Use Turbo mode (normal mode) for best results when cleaning hard floors and deep cleaning rugs and carpets. Switch to Auto mode or Eco mode when it is too difficult to push the nozzle on rugs or carpets.
