Real-World Consequences of Short Runtime:
- 61% of users abandon cleaning when battery dies
- Partial cleanings increase chemical use by 40%
- Frequent recharging degrades batteries 2X faster
Pro Test: Time your vacuum—if it can’t clean your pool’s deep end without recharging, it’s underpowered.

FAQ: Battery Longevity Explained
Q: How many years should my battery last?
A: 4-5 years with proper care (vs. 2-3 for standard batteries).
Q: Can I leave it charging overnight?
A: Yes—SmartCutoff stops at 100% to prevent overcharging.
Q: Does fast charging reduce lifespan?
A: Not with HyperCore—it uses pulsed charging to protect cells.
Q: What’s the largest pool one charge can clean?
A: 50ft pools with Battery Saver Mode enabled.
Q: Are replacement batteries expensive?
A: $129-$199, but rarely needed before year 4.
