2、If the battery only work for less than 45 minutes when fully charged; the battery turns green only charged for about 30 minutes; iRobot reminds you to charge Roomba when it is working; it is not advisable to always return to the base for charging normally. In such cases, the battery should generally be replaced.
3、A fully charged battery can generally operate for 2 to 3 hours. However, it is important to note that the machine usually returns to the base after working for approximately 60 minutes from the base. This does not mean that the battery has completely run out; it may not necessarily be a battery issue. When the machine returns to the base, it usually reserves some power to ensure it can return to charging normally.

most common reasons for reduced Roomba cleaning performance.

The correct Roomba replacement battery depends on your robot vacuum model and
original battery part number. For example, ABL-D1 batteries are commonly used for
Roomba i7, i7+, j7, j7+, i4+, e5, and e6 models, while ABL-D2/D2A batteries fit
many newer i, j, and Combo series models. Always check your original battery label
before ordering.
