Quick answer
If your robot mower remains in or keeps returning to the charging station, this is usually because it has either completed its programmed cutting cycle or the battery level is too low.
The robot mower will automatically return to the charging station when it needs to recharge or when it is outside of its scheduled working time.
Before you begin
Before checking your robot mower:
- Make sure the charging station has power
- Check that the mower is correctly positioned on the charging station
- Confirm the mower cutting schedule
- Allow enough time for the mower to fully charge before starting a new cycle
Steps
1. Check if the robot mower has completed its cutting cycle
When you first set up your robot mower and press start, it creates a daily cutting schedule.
The mower will repeat this cycle at the same time each day.
If the robot mower is outside of its programmed working time, it will remain at the charging station until the next scheduled cycle.
To change the start time:
- Make sure the mower is fully charged.
- Send the mower out to begin a new cutting cycle.
- The time you start the mower will become the new daily cycle start time.
For more information, see the guide explaining robot mower cutting times.
2. Check the battery level
If the battery level is low, the robot mower will automatically return to the charging station.
When the battery drops below approximately 30%, the mower will return to recharge.
During a normal cutting cycle, the mower may return to the charging station several times to recharge before continuing.
Allow up to 100 minutes for the battery to fully charge before expecting the mower to continue mowing.
