iRobot Roomba 4210 Bagless Robotic Vacuum\015 I have a similar problem to others…with old and new battery. Have reset charging. Indicator starts out red but turns green after about 16 hours. (What iRobot suggested. I haven’t tried 72 hours yet). After about 24 hours, I turn on power and Nothing. Light goes back to red and takes another 16 hours or so to turn green again. I have tried charging from base and with charger plugged directly into unit. Same thing happens.\015

Dirt or built-up debris may be preventing your robot from charging. Please unplug the base and grab a clean, lightly dampened melamine foam, such as a Magic Eraser to clean the contacts on the robot and base. Watch the following video outlining steps for cleaning the charging contacts.
Charging time under normal conditions is at least 2 hours. For best results, use only the battery type compatible with your robot and ensure that it is an authentic iRobot Lithium Ion/NiMH battery that comes with Roomba or purchased from iRobot authorized dealers.
Light Ring while idle
White clockwise swirl: Starting up or updating software (please wait). Solid white: Fully charged. Pulsing white: Charging. Pulsing red: Charging, too low to start cleaning.
You can easily check the status of the battery in the iRobot® HOME App. A battery icon will be displayed in the top-right corner, indicating the current status of the battery.
Verify there is no debris build-up on the charging contacts. If found, clean the charging contacts on both the Roomba® and the Home Base® with lightly dampened melamine foam. Examine Home Base®/Clean Base® line cord and check for any damage such as cuts, or fraying. Ensure the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
With proper care, your robot`s battery should last at least 2-3 years before it needs to be replaced.
If you get a more affordable model, like Roomba 675 you can expect a lifespan of up to two years. Go to the higher-end, like the iRobot j7+, and our research and testing suggest you can get five years plus of cleaning with proper maintenance.
Roomba® should charge in the following manner: If you are using a charger, the charger should have a solid green power indicator when it is plugged into an outlet. If you are using a Home Base®, the power indicator should blink approximately once every four (4) seconds when plugged into the charger or outlet.
Solid red:
There is an Error. Tap Clean for the robot to repeat the error. Errors are also shown in the iRobot HOME App on WiFi-enabled models.

I purchased a brand new P113 Ryobi charger about 2 years ago. It has never worked. If I put a P104 battery in for a charge, it looks like it works correctly. I push the battery tester on the battery itself, and it says full charge, but when I go to use the bateery, it dies right away. I have tried three new P104 batteries. The batteries charge on my charger at work with no problem. The funny thing is, I don't need a battery in the charger and the charger does the same thing, It runs the test
ANSWER : If you have your receipt, check with Ryobi to see if it is still under warranty. It comes with either a 2 or 3 year warranty, depending on when it was purchased. If it is still covered, get it replaced/repaired. If it is not, buy the P117 charger. $30 at Home Depot. It has a 90 day satisfaction guarantee. If it charges your batteries properly, you’re good. If not, bring it back if you don’t like/want it. My P113 won’t get out of test mode now, or charge Lithium batteries anymore. So I bought the P117 yesterday. Works great, and it’s a lot cheaper than new batteries! And it has a 3 year warranty.

Battery charge I just purchased a new battery pack insert for my Roomba, Replacement

My Roomba Discovery 4210 seems to be dead. Specifically, with or without a battery, and whether on the charging station or plugged directly into the charging unit, I see no lights on the display whatsoever. This unit has a history of killing batteries, but now seems like it is completely dead. I understand that the batteries themselves contain fuses; is there some way to bypass the battery (for now) to verify whether the unit itself is completely dead? I should also note that this is the sec
ANSWER : Hello,
I will advice you remove the batteries from your Roomba Discovery 4210, after removing the batteries, plug the Roomba Discovery 4210 directly with the charger to an AC outlet, see if charges, if it does, it means the batteries are dead and will need to be replaced.
Take care.

Can you take the Swivel Sweeper battery pack apart to replace the batteries with new rechargeable batteries? Batteries look like AA or AAA, but it appears that the battery pack is sealed. Is there any way to get it apart:?
ANSWER : Yes you can if you have a way to cut through the plastic outer case,(I used a Dremel rotary tool). Inside you will find six double A Ni-mh batteries. I found eight of these for sale on ebay for around ten bucks,then all you do is solder some wire to the batteries like the original battery pack and tape up the case and charge.
