Oh. Thanks. I’m only unplugging the wired plug, not the battery cable to the core. I will have to try to unplug the battery cable. ---

@emad1996 - here are the steps I did from about 6 or 8 weeks ago. Use the cord they sent with it and plug it in for 2 hours. 1. Turn it off / pull the plug to the battery and let it sit for 4 hours. 2. A Miracle apparently happens 3. Turn it back on and see what happens - hopefully its all better now, if you have my core continue to 5. 4. Open a ticket for a replacement battery 5. Wait a week and have a lot of calls, emails and frustration 6. You finally get approved for a new battery 7. Wait, wait wait. 8. A Christmas Mircle 9. FedEx Tracking is received I just did steps 1-4 again, its like watching the movie Groundhog Day. ---

> [@emad1996](#): > > Has anyone done it successfully? I had to do it about a week or so ago. I had been deliberately watching as my battery’s max charge slowly declined more and more. I first tried disconnecting the battery for 1.5 hours. Nope. Didn’t work. Tried again with 2.5 hours. Nope. Then tried with 4 hours - BINGO! It actually worked, and I’ve been charging to 100% ever since. ---

Thanks Mike. Hopefully I can go only to step 3. I’m at work now and I asked my son to unplug the battery until I get home and plug it again. if nothing happened. I will follow your trick ---

Thanks Robert. I had this issue now couple of times so far. Unusually, I only unplug the wired cord for 4 hours then plug it again, it seems to work. Now I hear I may need to unplug the battery too. if that does not work, I will shut it down completely and unplug the battery. This is an annoying issue, especially if there is a lot of snow to clean. ---

Hope it works. I was honestly a bit skeptical about the “4 hour reset” myself until it actually worked on my Yarbo! ---

I just did the 4 hour un-plug trick. Total failure, it left my garage after 4 hours with 76% - shot up to 82% in less than 30 min and now after 2 more hours still at 82%. I think the 4 hour unplug is just another way for Yarbo to kick the can. It is not working for most if not just about all of us. @Yarbo-Forum - do you like all of your customers pissed off? How can this be an enjoyable job? ---

Just got word I am getting another battery (last one was replaced less than 3 weeks ago). Great. I asked if the first was a refurbished battery and all I was told was the next one will be brand new. I guess that answers the question then. [Previous page](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/battery-charging-when-not-used-in-almost-2-weeks/4862.md?page=1)
