Try this before ordering a new battery, September 10, 2006By: kensmiles
Your Roomba may be experiencing an issue where the battery is deeply discharged and may need to charge longer than the standard 2.5 hours. (or 6 hours if you have a standard charger)
If you have fully charged your Battery (the Roomba Power light is solid green) and it charging time was short (less than 20 minutes) and its run time was short (less than 20 minutes) you will need to do the following.
Reset the Roomba charging system. Do this by removing the Battery and holding down the “power” button for at least 5 seconds. Then reinstall the Battery.
Plug the Charger into Roomba (avoid using the Home Base if you have one so as to ensure the Roomba’s charging cycle is not interrupted.)
Charge the Battery until the Roomba Power light is solid green and keep the Roomba on the Charger for an additional 72 hours (3 days). Note: Do not interrupt this charging cycle.
In Max mode, run the Roomba for one complete cycle without a Home Base present, to deplete the battery. Keep track of the runtime and if it has improved, repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times. If your Roomba does not have Max mode, run several Clean cycles until Roomba stops and plays the “dead battery” song.
Extend the life of your Original Roomba, September 1, 2007By: Andy M. “techno-geek” (Lincoln, NE USA)
Though a different color, this is indeed the proper replacement battery for original Roombas. If you are lucky enough to have one of these classic machines around in good mechanical condition, do not fret and buy this battery now. You will be amazed and how your little guy springs back to life. Though a bit pricey, this is far less than you’d spend on a new machine. Unless you really need the features introduced on the new units, buy this intead.
My unit went from barely being able to complete one room - and slowly, at that - to doing at least five rooms, each at top speed.
Live to fight another day, October 22, 2008By: Urn “Urn” (Seattle, WA)
Our battle against dirt and dust had come to an end. My Roomba warrior no longer had the energy to wander further than a few inches from home. Through the oracles I learned that a new iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery could potentially return the warrior to the battlefields. I consulted with the mighty Amazons, and made my request. Days passed, until finally, a mysterious box adorned my doorstep.
A finger slipped between the flaps of the cardboard box made quick work of the plastic packing tape. With eager anticipation, I opened the box. Inside, bubbles of air obscured my view, but a flash of bright yellow assured me that what lie in wait was what I had hoped for. The mighty Amazons had heard my plea, and taken pity on me! I tossed the packing plastic aside for the cat to wrestle with, and hoisted the iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery in the air. It’s weight was hearty, with a promise of reliable electric discharge on the future horizon. I set to work attempting to break the seal on the retail packaging. A packing knife was necessary to score the plastic shield, and with a constant fear of severing a digit, I pried the casket open. At last! My iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery was free!
Unceremoniously, I flipped the Roomba over on its back like a helpless turtle. Removing the exhausted iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery like the still-beating heart of the human sacrifice offered to the Amazons, I chanted a prayer that the fallen warrior would recover. I tossed aside the exhausted iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery, surprising the cat playing in the packaging materials, and slid the new iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery into place with a satisfying “click.” The Roomba made no effort to flip itself over onto its wheels, but I could sense its anticipation of a cleaning spree. Placing my cleaning partner onto the floor I pressed the power button, and it sprung to life. I instructed the Roomba to find the docking station and sleep, for there was much cleaning to be done, but a young warrior must be well rested and fully energized before heading into battle. Successfully finding the home port, I reiterated our schedule back to the warrior as sleep approached, and electric sheep filled our dreams.
Refreshed and revitalized! The warrior stands victorious after the daily battle! The iRobot Roomba APS 4905 Battery fulfilled its role in the war, and we live to fight another day!
