Possible Causes
Loose battery connection, Worn battery contacts, Internal crack in battery housing, Faulty main PCB power regulator
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Remove the battery before inspecting contacts. Do not use tools that can short the terminals.
- 1. Reseat the battery: Remove and reinsert the battery several times to ensure a solid connection. Listen for a positive click.
- 2. Inspect contacts: Check the metal contacts on the battery and vacuum for signs of pitting, discoloration, or looseness. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
- 3. Wiggle test: With the vacuum running (on low), gently move the battery side to side. If the unit cuts out or E13 appears, the contacts or housing may be worn.
- 4. Test with another battery: If a second battery works fine, replace the original. If both show the same issue, the main PCB or contact block may be faulty.
Persistent E13 with good batteries points to an internal electronics fault that should be repaired by a technician.
