This guide outlines the battery replacement flow for the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950. Power the robot off before handling the battery area, and avoid forcing covers, connectors, or internal parts.
[warning] Battery replacement involves internal electrical connections. If you are not trained to service internal batteries, use a qualified service option rather than opening or disconnecting the battery yourself. [/warning]Before Battery Access
[checklist] * Remove the robot from the charging dock * Turn the robot off using the Power Switch * Place the robot on a stable, dry work surface * Make sure the replacement battery is intended for the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 * Keep loose metal objects away from the battery and its connections [/checklist]Power Off the Robot
Use the Power Switch to turn the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 off before moving or opening the battery area. Do not begin battery work while the robot is powered on or sitting on the charging dock.
Access the Battery Cover
Turn the robot upside down carefully to reach the battery area. The existing battery-cover layout uses two screws to secure the cover.
[note] If the underside, cover, connector, or battery arrangement does not match the expected layout, do not force the parts or continue with additional disassembly. [/note]Replacement Flow
[step] 1. Turn the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 off using the Power Switch. 2. Remove the robot from the charging dock and place it upside down on a stable surface. 3. Remove the two screws securing the battery cover. 4. Lift the battery cover carefully to expose the battery compartment. 5. If you are qualified to continue, disconnect and remove the old battery without pulling, crushing, or damaging its wiring. 6. Position the compatible replacement battery correctly and reconnect it without pinching the wires. 7. Reinstall the battery cover and secure the two screws. 8. Return the robot to its normal upright position. 9. Turn the robot on using the Power Switch. [/step]Battery Handling
[dosdonts] Do: Keep the robot powered off while the battery compartment is open Do: Handle the battery and connector carefully Do: Keep the replacement battery and wiring seated securely before closing the cover Do: Stop if the battery, connector, wiring, or compartment appears damaged Dont: Short the battery terminals with tools or other metal objects Dont: Force a connector, cover, or battery into position Dont: Use a battery that is visibly swollen, leaking, damaged, or unusually hot Dont: Operate the robot with the battery cover left unsecured [/dosdonts]After Replacement
Once the cover is secured, place the robot upright and switch it on. Check that the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 starts normally before returning it to regular cleaning use.
[checklist] * Battery cover is fully seated * Both battery-cover screws are secured * No wire is trapped under the cover * Robot is upright before being switched on * Robot powers on normally [/checklist] [tip] If the old battery had noticeably reduced runtime, observe the robot through the first few charging and cleaning cycles after replacement rather than assuming runtime will immediately match earlier performance. [/tip] [faq] Q: What should I do if the battery cover does not open easily? A: Do not pry or force it. Recheck that the correct screws have been removed and stop if additional disassembly appears necessary. Q: Should the robot be left on the charging dock during replacement? A: No. Remove it from the dock and turn it off before accessing the battery area. Q: What if the replacement battery or connector does not fit naturally? A: Do not force the connection. Stop and verify that the battery is suitable for the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 950 before proceeding. Q: Can I continue if the battery looks swollen, damaged, or is leaking? A: No. Avoid further handling beyond what is necessary to keep the area safe and use an appropriate qualified battery-service option. [/faq]
