How long should batteries last in a floor scrubber?
Release time: 2025-10-14

π§ 1. By Type:
Floor Scrubber Type Battery Life (Single Full Charge) Description
Home Scrubber β±οΈ 30β60 minutes. Mostly powered by a lithium battery, suitable for daily household floor cleaning.
Commercial Walk-Behind Scrubber β±οΈ 2β4 hours. Battery capacities typically range from 20Ah to 100Ah.
Ride-On Scrubber β±οΈ 4β6 hours (or even longer). Uses large, maintenance-free lead-acid or lithium batteries, enabling continuous cleaning of large areas.
βοΈ 2. Factors Affecting Battery Life:
Battery Type:
Lithium Batteries π β Lightweight, fast charging, and long life (typically 800β1500 cycles).
Lead-Acid Batteries π β Low cost, but heavy, slow charging, and short life (approximately 400β600 cycles).
Surface Condition: The dirtier the surface or the greater the friction, the faster the battery drains.
Suction/Roller Brush: High mode provides strong cleaning power but consumes more power.
Ambient Temperature: Low temperatures reduce battery discharge efficiency.
Service Life: After one year or more, the battery capacity typically decreases by 10β20%.
π‘ 3. Daily Recommendations:
Charge the battery promptly after each use to avoid deep discharge.
If not used for an extended period, it is recommended to charge the battery once a month to prevent damage from battery drain.
Regularly check the battery connections for loose connections or oxidation.
