Charge your Robot

Your Neato battery comes partially charged. Before you use your Neato for the first time allow the robot to charge until the LED becomes green (up to 3 hours).

More information on how to set up your Charge Base

Note: Always charge your Neato using the supplied Neato Original charge base and battery.

Charging after a clean

Usually, your robot starts a clean from its charge base. After the cleaning run is finished, the robot uses its LIDAR navigation system to dock and recharge itself. The robot finds the charge base, centers itself, and turns around to get into the right position for charging. Then, Neato slowly shimmies back up to the charge base until it makes contact. 

If your robot gets lost during a clean, you may need to return it manually to its charge station. Pick the robot up by the handle and place it in front of the charge base. Then drive the robot up to its charge base. Your robot is properly docked when its two metal stripes slightly touch the metal bars on the base. 

If you start a clean away from the charge base, you will need to manually return the robot to its station after the job is finished.

Allow the robot to charge fully before its next clean.

Charging during a clean

The Neato robot’s cleaning cycles consist of 3 cleanings and 2 recharges. This means if the robot is not done cleaning your house on the first clean, it will go back to the base, recharge, and then continue where it left off. 

When the robot is recharging to continue to clean, the MyNeato App will indicate this by showing “Charging to clean”.
