General battery information

The rechargeable battery is supplied
not fully charged.
Charge the battery completely before
using it for the first time. Allow approx-
imately 3.5 hours for this.
Once the battery is fully charged, the
battery charging state indicator at the
top of the PowerUnit switches off to
conserve energy.

The maximum charging capacity is
only achieved once the battery has
been charged and run down approx.
five times.
A full charge provides enough power for
17 minutes if the vacuum cleaner is
used in its fully assembled state.
However, if you use the PowerUnit solo
(see "Operation" – "Using the
PowerUnit solo"), you can vacuum for
up to 55 minutes at a time.
The running time depends on the se-
lected power level, the flooring and
how the vacuum cleaner is used, as
well as on the degree of soiling of the
filter system.
Charging the battery (without wall
mounting) (Fig. 06)
You can charge the battery directly.
Before charging the battery for the first
time, you must read the information in
"Commissioning" – "General battery
information".
 Plug the charging plug of the sup-
plied charging cable into the charging
socket on the bottom at the rear of
the PowerUnit.
 Plug the charger into a power socket.
The charging process will start.
You can read more about this in "Bat-
tery charging state indicator (while
charging)".
