It will take about 2 ½ hours to recharge a fully depleted battery. It will take 12 hours to charge the battery for the first time to achieve peak battery performance.
You need to recharge it manually with the battery charger. Turn off the power
switch and plug in the battery charger into an AC outlet and
insert wire terminal into the power jack which is located
next to the on/off switch. It is similar to the way you recharge
your cell phone. The POWER green light will flash during charging,
and will become a steady green once the battery is fully charged.
The LOWER BATT CHARGE red light will come on with a buzzing
noise to indicate that the battery should be recharged. It
will take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to fully recharge the battery.
The battery will not be over-charged if AC charger remains
connected after battery recharging is complete.
In USA/Canada area, battery charger is 120V 60Hz. Different charger will be used outside USA/Canada , please consult your distributor or retailer for the right type of charger.

New battery may come in discharged condition, so please
recharge the battery fully before using the CleanMate. When
you install the battery into CleanMate unit, make sure the
battery seat securely in the battery compartment and makes
good contact inside.
The initial charging time might be short, but after a complete
cleaning cycle, the normal battery charging will become
about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. If the battery charging time is
short after many recharging cycles and running time is still
short (less than 30 minutes), then battery may be over drain.
Please recharge the battery for 3 days continuously without
unplug AC charger.
If short CleanMate running time problem persists, the problem
may be cause by a defective battery, a defective AC charger
or the malfunction of CleanMate unit itself. CleanMate uses
14.4V NiMH battery on QQ2. The normal
output voltage of CleanMate AC charger adapter is in 20~22V
range. You can measure voltage of battery, it should not
be less than 10V. Fully charged battery voltage should be
between 14.4 to 16.5V.
Do not leave the battery in drained condition for a long
period of time. Charge the battery as soon as you can after
the cleaning is done. Leaving battery in drained condition
for too long will damage the battery.
When QQ2 Basic gets into a tight spot, it will usually find its
way out after some times. We recommend that you watch QQ2 Basic
the first couple of times you use it, so you can see if there
are cleaning areas where it gets stuck, and move things and
set up barrier as needed. Because QQ2 Basic lightly bumps walls
and other objects as it cleans, remove any light items that
may be pushed or knocked over. Of course, you will get better
results if you clear the floor of any loose items before cleaning,
just as you would if you were using a traditional upright
vacuum.
Yes. QQ2 Basic does a good job in vacuuming pet hair. You should
run QQ2 Basic frequently to maintain your home free of pet hair,
and clean QQ2 Basic brushes every time you empty the dirt bin.
QQ2 Basic will not pick up large debris which is bigger than
its dust bin intake opening.
If QQ2 Basic doesn’t seem to be cleaning as well as it did,
your brushes and/or filter may need cleaning . We suggest
you remove and cleaning QQ2 Basic brushes whenever you empty
the dust bin. Check side brush too.
