Roborock Q5 Battery Replacement

Introduction

Over time, the battery can lose its capacity, causing the vacuum to require more frequent charging. If your robot vacuum struggles to hold a charge, acts strangely during cleaning, or doesn't run as long as it used to, these are signs that the battery could be worn out.

Generally, you may need to replace robot vacuum batteries every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type and how much you use it. Taking good care of your vacuum and following the manufacturer's recommendations can help the battery last longer, and newer battery technology offers more durable replacement options.

Use this guide to replace the battery for your Roborock Q5 robot vacuum.
