@Yarbo-Forum if this is truly the case you are destroying the batteries, this is the most critical piece of hardware in the whole system.

Gemini is sassy! :rofl:

Sounds like a firmware issue to me.

24

Yea, that was interesting reading Gemini and how it worded its response!

25

I like to argue with it and point out technicalitiesā€¦maybe Iā€™m a bad influence :joy:

How often are people having to do the unplug the battery for 4 hours or whatever to reset the charge reported value?

Iā€™ve already done it once last week and itā€™s already starting to not fully charge again.

Think I had to do it maybe 4 times last mow season.

27

I had to do it once last year, and the problem never reoccurred.

Seems unusual to me that you have had to do it multiple times in such a short amount of time. I suggest you open a ticket and have Yarbo diagnose your battery.

28

Yeah. I had a ticket last year and the answer was unplug it longer.

Guess weā€™ll see what they say this year.

29

Seen a few that report it charges to 100% and then at some point stops charging. Is this something you are seeing? If not and unplugging for 4 hours fixes it then Iā€™d definitely have support check the battery.

This morning, maybe. It was 94% when I sent it out to mow after being on the charger all night.

Last week no. It wouldnā€™t get to 80% unplugging it for 4 hours, plug it back in and itā€™s 100% same as last year. So Iā€™m not sure if this morning was just battery tending or not fully charging. What Iā€™ve noticed in the past is it progressively gets worse. The max charge it reports slowly gets lower until it finally wonā€™t get past 80% which means if it charges mid mow it never goes back out.

Weā€™ll see what it does after todayā€™s mow.

31

If it was 94% and charging then definitely the same issue. If it dropped quickly to 94% off the charger then thatā€™s the battery tending.

32

This morning it had only charged to 88% after being on the charger since about 11:30pm last night. Itā€™s unplugged now so hopefully it goes back to 100%, guess its another support ticket for me.
