HQ Automower 220 AC short mow time?

Hy all, I'm new here and looking for help - my 220 AC has a very short mowing time, and I don't understand why, when it is fully charged and starts mowing it takes a maximum of about 10 minutes and then it starts looking for a charger. The battery seems ok, ie at that moment it shows only a small consumption on the screen. Then charge for about ten minutes and then mows for a few minutes and so on. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what to do?

How old are the batteries? On many early electric models the battery life was not much more than three years. That’s why they weren’t as popular five years ago. Today’s models last about five years.

I really don't know how old the battery is because i recently bought a used lawn mower, but it’s weird that it would fill up so quickly if it was really empty?

Anyone had similar problems...?

My experience tells me the faster a battery will charge, the faster it will discharge. I suspect you have a battery or batteries with one or more bad cells.

I ordered a new battery so i will let you know if it solves the problem.

You were right, a new battery solved the problem, the mowing time gradually increased to about an hour of mowing time.
Thank You!
