Possible Causes
Aged lithium cells in the Jimmy battery pack, frequent high-power use and deep discharges, storing the battery fully discharged for long periods, high ambient storage temperatures.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open the battery pack. Handle lithium batteries carefully.
- Step 1 – Fully Charge: Charge the battery until the charger indicates full. Leave it on the charger for an extra 30 minutes to balance cells.
- Step 2 – Test Runtime: Use the vacuum in standard mode on a hard floor and time the runtime. Compare with the specification in the Jimmy manual.
- Step 3 – Reduce Load: Clean filters and remove blockages to reduce current draw, then retest runtime.
- Step 4 – Replace Battery: If runtime remains significantly below spec, replace the Jimmy lithium battery pack with a genuine part.
- Step 5 – Battery Care: For the new pack, avoid storing it fully empty, and keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
