430X Husqvarna robot issue

Husq430x

Hi All,

Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct place? But I've an issue with our robot mower. It returns to charge at about 50% load. Anything from 46% to 53%.It charges fine and then goes back out for about 70 minutes. So charging and cutting times are shorter. The battery would reduce down to 23% when we had it first. Brought the mower to a specialist automower repair company. They couldn't find any issues and battery is ok. The guy there thinks it might be due to the guide wires. But I'm not sure as it does go out and come back to station ok. Possibly a little more difficult for it to find the guide wires than previous but I cant be certain as perhaps I changed something on my phone app. Any assistance much appreciated.

Has it ever run out of charge while trying to get home?

I would think that it takes a very conservative approach, so if it runs flat it will head for home at a higher percentage battery the next time.

Hi Blackbox.

Thanks. It did get stuck last year and the battery died so maybe this has something to do with it

Its probably worth trying a reset. Bear in mind you'll lose all of your settings and schedules.

Yeah might look into this. The schedule… I'm always playing around with it so wouldn't matter too much. After that I dont think there's much setting up.

if you take it out of the docking station and start it manually you can select cutting a secondary area. I think it runs down to 5% before it stops. Might be worth a try to see how long it runs to see if battery is actually good or if it helps reset anything
