-The batteries included with the robot are standard lead acid leisure batteries with 115 Ah capacity. If replaced, it's important that the batteries have the correct size and weight. Are the batteries bigger they will not fit. If they are lighter there is a risk that the robot will overturn due to the too low weight.

-==== Charging ====
+===== Charger =====
-  - When charging the batteries, the robot must be switched off. The batteries cannot be charged when the robot is on. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
+The charger included is a 24 V 12 A charger which plugs directly into the robot. It is available in both a 230 VAC version and a 115 VAC version.
-  - The charger must be connected to the robot first. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
-  - Then connect to the wall outlet. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
-  - When the charger is connected to the wall outlet only the orange status light should be turned on. See the charger manual for details.
-The robot shall always be connected to the charger when not used, in order to prolong battery life. Do not let the robot stay with low charge level for any prolonged time as this damages the batteries and shortens battery lifespan. Continued use after battery low warings will also damage the batteries.
+----
-If the robot has warned for low battery, charge it for at least the same amount of time that it has previously been washing before using it again.
