Introduction

Over time, the battery can lose its capacity, causing the vacuum to require more frequent charging. If your robot vacuum struggles to hold a charge, acts strangely during cleaning, or doesn't run as long as it used to, these are signs that the battery could be worn out.

Generally, you may need to replace robot vacuum batteries every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type and how much you use it. Taking good care of your vacuum and following the manufacturer's recommendations can help the battery last longer, and newer battery technology offers more durable replacement options.

Use this guide to replace the battery for your Roborock Q5 robot vacuum.
Before starting this procedure, power off your device

Tools

Step 1

Power off your Roborock and place the device on a flat surface with the wheels facing up.
Position the robot so the five-pronged side brush is on the bottom right side.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the single side brush screw.
The screw is attached to the side brush so they cannot be separated.

Step 3

Lift the side brush up and off.

Step 4

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the seven 15 mm screws from the bottom panel.

Step 5

Gently lift off the bottom panel cover.
If the bottom panel is stuck, use a plastic spudger along the edges to gently lift it out of place, then remove it by hand.

Step 6

Use the two white straps to lift the battery out slightly to reveal the battery connector.
The battery is still connected to the robot vacuum. Take care not to strain the battery cable.
