Kobold VR 100 charging — charging time & battery life

Initiation

The Kobold VR 100 vacuum robot requires a full charge before it is ready for use. Charging time and battery life depend on charge level and usage. This article explains how long it takes the Kobold VR 100 to charge, how long the battery lasts and what you should consider for optimal charging results.

Common questions

How long does the Kobold VR 100 take to fully charge?

The Kobold VR 100 takes around 4-6 hours to fully charge from 0% to 100%. The exact charging time depends on the current charge level of the battery. If the battery is only partially discharged, the charging time is reduced accordingly.

How long does the Kobold VR 100 battery last?

With a fully charged battery, the Kobold VR 100 cleans for around 90-120 minutes. The actual running time varies depending on floor conditions, suction level and room size. The battery life is reduced on carpets or with higher suction power.

Can the Kobold VR 100 be used while charging?

No, the Kobold VR 100 cannot be used while charging. The vacuum robot must be completely on the charging station for the charging process to work. Do not interrupt charging prematurely to preserve battery life.

How do I know that the Kobold VR 100 is fully charged?

The LED display on the Kobold VR 100 shows the charging status. The indicator blinks while charging. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up continuously. The vacuum robot is then ready for use.

Does the Kobold VR 100 charge automatically?

Yes, the Kobold VR 100 automatically returns to the charging station when the battery gets low. After cleaning is complete or when the charge level is low, the vacuum robot automatically drives to the station and starts charging.

Notes & troubleshooting

Important: Make sure that the charging station is in an easily accessible location and is not blocked by furniture or cables. The Kobold VR 100 must be able to reach the station easily.

Note: After a long period of non-use (more than 2 weeks), fully charge the battery before using the vacuum robot again. This preserves battery life.

Problem: Kobold VR 100 doesn't load or loads very slowly

• Cause: Dirty charging contacts or incorrect positioning on the charging station.
• solution:
  1. Clean the charging contacts on the vacuum robot and at the charging station with a dry cloth.
  2. Check whether the Kobold VR 100 is correctly seated on the charging station — the contacts must be fully supported.
  3. Make sure that the charging station is plugged into a working power outlet.

Problem: Battery life is shorter than expected

• Cause: Battery is not fully charged or has lost capacity due to frequent partial charges.
• solution:
  1. Fully charge the battery (4-6 hours) before using the robot vacuum.
  2. Avoid frequent charging interruptions — always let the Kobold VR 100 fully charge.
  3. Reduce the suction level if you need longer cleaning times.
