Cleaning runtime: approximately 180 minutes (3 hours) per full charge. The robot automatically returns to the waterline and parks when the battery is depleted. Avoid partial charges &mdash; completing a full charge cycle before use maximizes battery longevity.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"section-card\">\n            <div class=\"section-icon icon-steps\"><\/div>\n            <h2>Why Your V3 Seems to Run Shorter Than 3 Hours<\/h2>\n            <p>Battery runtime depends on pool size, cleaning mode, and water temperature. Wall+Floor mode uses more power than Floor mode alone. Cold water (below 15&deg;C) can reduce effective runtime by 15&ndash;20%. Heavily debris-laden pools also increase motor load. If your unit regularly stops in under 90 minutes on a full charge, this may indicate a battery issue.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"section-card\">\n            <div class=\"section-icon icon-warn\"><\/div>\n            <h2>Battery Warranty: When to Claim<\/h2>\n            <p>Aiper&rsquo;s support agents use a threshold of 40&ndash;50 minutes of runtime as the indicator of a defective battery within the warranty period. If your V3 consistently runs for less than 50 minutes on a full 5-hour charge, contact support with: serial number, purchase date, and a description of observed runtime. The 2-year warranty covers battery replacement or unit replacement.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"section-card\">\n            <div class=\"section-icon icon-fix\"><\/div>\n            <h2>Extending Battery Life: Best Practices<\/h2>\n            <p>1. Always charge to 100% before use. 2. Store the robot indoors at room temperature when not in use for extended periods (1+ month). 3. Do not leave on the charger indefinitely after reaching full charge. 4. Rinse the charging contacts with fresh water and dry before charging, especially in saltwater pools. 5. If storing over winter, discharge to approximately 60% before storage to prevent capacity loss.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"section-card\">\n            <div class=\"section-icon icon-info\"><\/div>\n            <h2>Can You Replace the Battery Yourself?<\/h2>\n            <p>The Scuba V3 battery is an internal sealed unit and is not designed for user replacement.
