Should we completely drain the battery abd recharge it again?

I've had mine for over a year. I just keep it on the charging base, use it, and put it back. I have never drained the battery, and I've noticed no drop in battery life with it being on the charging base 24/7.

I've only let the battery drain one time. This is not a replacement for a regular vacuum cleaner. Expect to get 30 to 45 minutes per full charge. It's worked as advertised no problems.

Don't worry about the battery! Leave the Shark plugged in when you are not using it...run it til it slows or stops, them let in plugged in again for , well, plan to let it charge over night ! If it is still weak, plug it back in for 12 hours , Still weal ? Refer for service. Normally, the cbattery and charger last a long ( years ? ) time . A great vacuum!

No. It will slowly drain the battery. I have several of these, and store them disconnected.

I'd start with a new battery....and since it has a memory you will need to let it run all the down in order to get a full charge and then leave on the charger about 3 hours maximum time.

Most likely but first try unplugging your charge . I've had to do that and then got s full charge on my battery

Remove and re- charge. We simply used replaceable alkaline batteries in our circumstances. Did not use rechargeable batteries.

I guess you need to let it fully recharged, I use it once a week and had no problem.

May need to reboot it or flip the side buttons alot and then plug it in again and recharge it ..just guessing.

After you do the initial breakin procedure, you're technically supposed to use it until it's fully drained then charge it. I like to get my cake and eat it too, so my opinion is that it sucks to do that, so I charge it whenever I want to so that I can guarantee I have a full battery to start with when I need it. I've been doing that for the last 2 years and the battery life is probably still about 80-90% of what it was when I first got it. I think it's well worth it. It's cheap, so when I feel like it's no longer able to hold a capacity that I'm happy with, scrape it and buy a new one.

I would say no but I am not sure it probably has to be reset turn it off and on when battery is charged

Ley it charge completely and discharge at 10 % plug back in . do it with the first 3 charges.

if the battery drains faster than normal, reboot the phone. this should return it to normal

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

I think the battery goes to a disconnected storage state rather than being maintained. More like you put it on a shelf after a full charge. It will slowly leak down

I wouldn't. I heard something about battery life shortened if you don't let it go down and sometimes avoid bringing it back to 100 percent.

I have repeatly but don't leave it un attended. You should get a deeper charge with just with the battery along in the charger if you have the option.

I doubt it, I have found that mine wont even maintain a charge.Ifthe battery is even a little weak it wont bring it back. They need more output.

Yes, I did the same and have been recharging the battery externally for a couple of years. I would get a spare battery so you always have an extra.
