Nature is already starting to prepare for the winter season and if you have smart lawn mowers, pool cleaning robots and other smart devices, you should also prepare these products for winterization. Even though winterization is very simple, many people underestimate it or do it wrong and then unnecessarily shorten the life of their products. I proceed as follows and since this is the manufacturer's procedure, it is the best possible way. While the products are still outside in the garden, I update them so that they rest with the latest software that is currently available. Next comes the most important part. Just before I put the products in the garage where they rest over the winter, I charge them according to the manufacturer's procedure.
In general, it is best not tochat to rest a robotic lawnmower or pool cleaner with the battery charged between 80-100% of its capacity. While the manufacturer of my lawnmower Segway Navimow i105e explicitly states that I have it notchat charge to 85% for the vacuum cleaner Spino E1 According to the manufacturer, it is ideal for 100%So ideally look in the manual and if you can't find it, it is said that charging to 80 - 100% is the best thing you can do for your product before you put it in storage. If winterization means to you what it means to me, the period maxat least five months, then for most products, just plugging it into the charger and recharging it once during this period is enough. If you forget to do this, no tragedy will happen. nestYes, but it's definitely better.
If you already have a battery, you need to clean the products thoroughly before winterizing and remove everything that can be removed, such as grass cutting blades. In addition to water, it is a good idea to use a detailer or a plastic product that you use on your car on the plastic parts. Then, all you need to do is store everything in a dry place, such as a garage or garden shed. This way, your products will survive the winter and their batteries will suffer as little as possible. It is important to winterize before the first frost, because sub-zero temperatures are the worst thing that can happen to your battery. Believe me, if you winterize the products in this way, they will serve you for many years and their batteries will still be fit. If you then have outdoor sockets with their own fuse specifically for these products, of course it does not hurt to turn them off using the fuses before winter. In general, I recommend checking very carefully whether your garden electronics are really 100% turned off. Many products have various "stand-by" modes, which are of course pointless during the winter.
