Why Doesn’t My Roomba Go Home When Battery Is Low? Troubleshooting the Issue
Roomba has a pre-programmed algorithm that determines its behavior when the battery percentage drops below a certain level. Instead of going directly back to the charging station, it may continue to complete its current cleaning cycle or move around randomly until it reaches a low power mode to conserve battery. This behavior is intended to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency and battery life. However, if your Roomba is not returning to the charging station at all, it may be due to a faulty battery or charging dock, and you should contact customer support for further assistance.
