The charging never goes past 74%. It was at 100% 2 weeks ago right before the temperature went below 10 degrees.
Unplug your battery for 4 hours. This will force the Battery Management System to recalibrate and it should be at 100% after.
I am at the same point in the road as you.
Yarbo replaced my battery 2 weeks ago, something that took a month to get them to do (almost daily email or phone conversations). Now I am right back to the same behavior as the last battery but worse. Current state, after each charge it gets progressively worse in total charge. I started at hoving in the low 90’s and now after 8 charges it is down to 77% and sits at a constant charge state. Few more times and at this rate the battery will hold nothing in a few more weeks of use.
I did the pull the plug for 4 hours trick before the battery was replaced last time too, fail. Something else has to be going on here with so many of these getting reported on this forum. I assume it is either a software problem or another QC problem. At this point its even money probably on either bet. Now, for all I know they sent me someone else’s battery and it was not new, they certainly send out some pretty rough “refurbished” cores.
I have had a support ticket open for several days now so I will report back when I have news on my main post on this topic.
Interesting to see that the 4 hour reset isn’t working in these new cases.
And for those affected: I’m sorry to see this. Hopefully Yarbo will get the issue resolved for you soon.
Its almost has to be software related. Again I feel lucky here as my battery still charges to 100%.
95% of the problems have all been software related. They’ve mitigated most of the hardware issues thus far. While it sucks that there are software issues, I’m glad that most of the issues is just software related. That means it can be fixed for everyone a lot more easily. The problems aren’t unique to Yarbo. I watch the other mower groups and am early beta testing another mower. Let’s just say it makes me love my Yarbo more every day. Unlike these other robot mowers, Yarbo has 4 modules and accessories to program for too. I’m amazed at what their small team has been able to accomplish so far. There’s still a long way to go for sure, but it does the basics of what I need it to do and for me, that’s good enough. That’s ultimately what I bought it for. Anything else is just icing on the cake.
Exactly!!
First, I’ll say that Yarbo is getting better and better with each software release in addition to their multiple hardware iterations. I may voice frustration with issues I experience with my Yarbo, but I am actually very pleased with my Yarbo, and am glad I bought it. Voicing frustrations and highlighting issues is how those issues get resolved.
Trust me when I say the grass always seems greener on the other side, but reality is never as cut and dry. There are issues with all of the modern robot mowers, and if anyone was to browse their forums, it would seem like the sky is falling. But in reality, most people are happily using their robots…. They just aren’t posting about them online.
I’m looking forward to 2026 and the next wave of new and improved robotic products. And I’m glad to know that the products I already own will continue to get better at the same time!
I thought that saying was the grass is always greener over the septic tank. 
Don’t have one of those, but it sure is greener where the sump pump drains.
@rgloverii - I am not sure I can agree with this one. The number of issues I have had, the number of tickets I have had. At this point a back-to-back successful run would be reason to celebrate.
Thanks for the suggestion Bryan, but I haven’t had success with the unplug trick as of yet. I’m running (2) units at different locations; one is recharging fully, followed by automatically engaging “Active Battery Care” as expected, the other stalls out at 75-77% after a full night of charging. Unplugged wireless charging station for 4+hrs., repowered, sent auto recharge, stalled again at 75%.
I completely understand your viewpoint, and I hate that there have been so many issues with some user’s Yarbos. I’ve had some issues as well, but nowhere near as significant as some other people (you included). Knock on wood.
I think a decent amount of the issues are related to insufficient QC on the hardware they are shipping. Obviously it’s not financially viable for Yarbo to keep shipping heavy replacement units to everyone again and again, so that’s a pretty powerful incentive for them to identify root cause of the reoccurring issues and permanently resolve them.
My Yarbo was out there blowing snow at 4am this morning while I was asleep. It really is wonderful when it works. Don’t give up. Just be persistent until your problems are resolved.
I think this is the problem. You need to physically UNPLUG THE BATTERY from inside Yarbo for 4+ hours. Not simply disconnect from the external charger.
Yes, this.
Have you tried unplugging the data center for 5 mins, when it goes green, reboot the core. If that doesn’t help, can you post a screenshot of what the main screen looks like when it connects?
also if you are on a unifi router a reboot of it on occasion seems to fix some issues I’ve seen.
What issues have you seen/experienced with Unifi and Yarbo?
Once in a blue moon I have to restart it or I can’t get connected to Yarbo. I usually bounce the DC and then Yarbo and if that doesn’t work I bounce my Dream Router 7. By that time it’s operational. May or may not be the issue, but worth a try.
That’s good advice for any user and home network equipment.
