Scuba S3 Batería de Corta Duración — Causas y Soluciones
Tres causas comunes: la batería no estaba completamente cargada, el Modo Máximo está consumiendo potencia extra, o la batería se ha degradado naturalmente después de muchos ciclos.
If your Scuba S3 is running for noticeably less time than when new, check these three factors: (1) Not completamente cargada — a carga parcial significantly reduces runtime. Charge until the LED shows a full charge indication. (2) Modo Máximo enabled — this mode increases motor de la bomba power for stronger suction but draws more current, reducing runtime noticeably. Switch to a lower-power modo de limpieza if runtime is your priority. (3) Natural battery degradation — all lithium batteries lose capacity gradually. After 300–500 full cycles, expect 70–80% of original capacity. If runtime dropped suddenly (not gradually), revisit causes 1 and 2 first.
1. Asegure una carga completa
A carga parcial (e.g., charging for only 1–2 hours) will give you a fraction of the full runtime. Always charge until the indicador LED shows verde fijo, which takes several hours from empty. If the charger was accidentally disconnected or the power went out mid-charge, the battery may read as partially charged in the app but deliver reduced runtime. Fully discharge and recharge once to recalibrate the medidor de batería.
2. Verifique el modo de limpieza
The Scuba S3 has multiple power levels. Modo Máximo runs the motor de la bomba at higher RPM for stronger suction, especially effective on residuos pesados like leaves and acorns. The trade-off is 20–30% shorter runtime. If you typically run Modo Máximo and notice shorter sessions, switch to a lower-power modo de limpieza for longer coverage. A lower-power mode is ideal for limpieza de mantenimiento of lightly soiled pools and can extend runtime compared to Modo Máximo.
3. Ciclo de vida de la batería y degradación gradual
The S3’s batería de litio is rated for approximately 300–500 full ciclos de carga before capacity drops below 80% of the original specification. If your robot is 1–2 years old and used daily during pool season, some capacity loss is normal and expected. Gradual decline (a few minutes less each month) indicates normal wear. A sudden drop (e.g., a sudden 50% or greater drop from one session to the next) is not normal degradation — it suggests a charging fault, a cell failure, or that you accidentally switched to Modo Máximo. Check causes 1 and 2 before assuming battery failure.
Cómo obtener una batería de reemplazo
If you’ve ruled out partial charging and Modo Máximo, and the battery runtime is consistently below 50% of the original specification, the battery may need replacement. Contact soporte postventa de Aiper with your device número de serie (SN), purchase date, and an estimate of current runtime. Battery replacement is covered under the warranty if capacity drops abnormally within the warranty period. Outside warranty, replacement batteries can be ordered through soporte de Aiper.
