The battery life of the Roomba depends on how often you use it and how you use it. If you take good care of it, its service life is about 1-3 years, depending on the model. If you find that it doesn't run as long as before or the overall performance drops, then you need to replace the battery for it at this time.
In this article, we will briefly describe how to replace the battery. The specific operation steps can be viewed on the official website or YouTube.
Step 1:
If you find a suitable battery, it's time to replace it. First turn the vacuum over, use a flat-head screwdriver to loosen the side brush screws, and remove the side brush.
