Fix 1: Deep Clean Charging Contacts (Works 65% of Time)

Why This First: Yeedi robots—especially the Vac 2 Pro with auto-empty—collect significant dust around charging contacts. The mopping models add moisture that causes faster oxidation.

Symptoms:

• Robot sits on dock, no charging light
• Charging starts then stops randomly
• Robot shows full charge but dies in 5 minutes
• Base station LED on, robot won't charge

How to Fix:

Step 1 - Clean Robot Contacts:

1. Power off your Yeedi completely
2. Flip robot upside down on towel
3. Locate two metal charging strips (back underside near wheels)
4. Wipe with dry microfiber cloth first
5. Use 70% isopropyl alcohol on cotton swab for stubborn grime
6. Look for green oxidation—scrub gently with pencil eraser if present
7. Allow 2 minutes to dry

Step 2 - Clean Dock/Station Contacts:

1. Unplug charging dock from wall
2. Locate charging pins (front of dock base)
3. Vac 2 Pro/Mop Station: Also clean the auto-empty suction port
4. Wipe all metal contacts thoroughly
5. Check pins spring back when pressed—stuck pins won't charge
6. Clean dust from around contact area

Step 3 - Test:

1. Reconnect dock power
2. Wait for dock LED to stabilize
3. Place Yeedi on dock, ensuring alignment
4. Charging light should activate within 10 seconds
5. Listen for auto-empty activation (if applicable)

Time: 5-7 minutes Cost: Free Success Rate: 65%

💡 Yeedi-Specific: Mop Station models have additional water contacts. Clean ALL metal surfaces, including water tank connection points.

If This Doesn't Work: Try Fix 2 - dock positioning

Fix 2: Optimize Dock Placement (Works 18% of Time)

Why This Helps: Yeedi uses a combination of infrared sensors and camera navigation. The self-empty stations are large and need proper clearance for successful docking.

Symptoms:

• Robot approaches dock but misses repeatedly
• Parks slightly off-center on dock
• Charges inconsistently (sometimes works)
• Mop Station: water refill also failing

How to Fix:

Step 1 - Surface Requirements:

1. Place dock on hard, flat floor (tile, hardwood, laminate)
2. Not on carpet, rugs, or uneven surfaces
3. Ensure dock sits completely stable—no rocking
4. Clean floor under and around dock

Step 2 - Clearance Requirements:

• Sides: 2 feet (60cm) clear on each side
• Front: 4 feet (120cm) clear in front
• Back: Flat against wall, no gap
• Above: No overhanging furniture

Step 3 - Environmental Factors:

1. Avoid direct sunlight on dock (interferes with IR sensors)
2. Keep away from reflective surfaces (mirrors, glass doors)
3. No dark carpets directly in front of dock
4. Remove nearby obstacles (shoes, cables, pet bowls)

Step 4 - Mop Station Specific:

1. Ensure water tank is filled to correct level
2. Check water connection seal is clean
3. Drain tray not overflowing (blocks proper docking)

Time: 5-10 minutes Cost: Free Success Rate: 18%

⚠️ Important: Yeedi Mop Station requires additional floor clearance due to larger size. Don't place in tight corners.

If This Doesn't Work: Try Fix 3 - battery calibration

Fix 3: Battery Calibration Reset (Works 12% of Time)

Why This Helps: Yeedi's battery management system can lose calibration after power interruptions, extended storage, or complete discharge cycles.

Symptoms:

• Battery percentage seems inaccurate
• "Full" charge depletes in minutes
• Robot sat unused for weeks
• Charging light comes on but no actual charge

How to Fix:

Method A - Standard Reset:

1. Remove robot from dock
2. Turn OFF using power switch
3. Wait 2 minutes
4. Turn ON, place directly on dock
5. Charge for 6+ hours uninterrupted
6. Don't start cleaning cycle during this charge

Method B - Full Discharge Cycle:

1. Run Yeedi until it completely dies (won't move)
2. Leave off for 1 hour
3. Place on dock
4. Charge for minimum 8 hours straight
5. Repeat this cycle once more for best results

Method C - App Reset (Vac 2 Pro, Mop Station):

1. Open Yeedi app
2. Go to robot settings
3. Look for "Reset" or "Factory Reset" option
4. This clears battery calibration data
5. After reset, do full charge before use
6. Wi-Fi reconnection required

Time: 30 minutes to 8 hours (mostly passive waiting) Cost: Free Success Rate: 12%

💡 Pro Tip: After any battery reset, let Yeedi complete 2-3 full cleaning cycles before judging battery performance. Calibration improves with use.

If This Doesn't Work: Try Fix 4 - adapter diagnostics

Fix 4: Power Adapter and Dock Hardware (Works 4% of Time)

Why This Helps: Power adapters fail over time, especially with voltage fluctuations. Mop Station adapters handle higher loads and fail more frequently.

Symptoms:

• Dock LED completely off (no power)
• Adapter hot to touch or making noise
• Charging worked before power surge/outage
• Using third-party or incorrect adapter

How to Fix:

Step 1 - Adapter Test:

1. Check adapter brick—is indicator LED lit?
2. Feel temperature—warm is okay, hot suggests failure
3. Listen for buzzing, clicking, or whining sounds
4. Inspect cable for damage, fraying, or kinks
5. Try different wall outlet

Step 2 - Dock Inspection:

1. Examine DC input port on dock for damage
2. Check that adapter plug seats fully (should click)
3. Wiggle connection gently—flickering lights = bad connection
4. Look for burn marks or melted plastic (fire hazard—stop using)

Step 3 - Adapter Specifications:

• Yeedi Vac 2/K650: 20V DC, 1.0A
• Yeedi Vac 2 Pro: 20V DC, 1.2A
• Yeedi Mop Station: 24V DC, 1.5A (higher power for water pump)

Replacement Options:

• OEM Yeedi adapter: $25-35
• Compatible universal adapter: $15-25 (match voltage exactly)

Time: 10 minutes diagnosis, plus shipping for replacement Cost: $15-35 for replacement Success Rate: 4%

⚠️ Warning: Using wrong voltage adapter can permanently damage Yeedi's charging circuit. Always verify specifications before connecting third-party adapters.

When DIY Won't Work - Battery Replacement

Signs Battery Needs Replacement:

⚠️ Full charge yields under 20 minutes runtime ⚠️ Battery swollen or deformed (stop using immediately) ⚠️ Robot 2+ years old with heavy use ⚠️ All charging troubleshooting failed ⚠️ Robot gets hot during charging

Yeedi Battery Options:

Replacement Process (General):

1. Power off robot completely
2. Flip upside down, remove bottom panel screws (usually 4-6)
3. Carefully lift panel, noting wire positions
4. Disconnect battery connector (pull straight out)
5. Remove old battery, insert new one
6. Reconnect battery cable securely
7. Replace bottom panel and screws
8. Full charge before first use (8+ hours)

💡 Tip: Yeedi's larger 5200mAh batteries cost more but last longer. Compatible batteries from reputable brands (like Tenergy) work well and cost 30-40% less than OEM.

Prevent Future Charging Issues

Habits that prevent 85% of Yeedi charging problems:

• 🔧 Weekly: Wipe all charging contacts (robot + dock) with dry cloth
• 🔧 Monthly: Deep clean contacts with isopropyl alcohol
• 🔧 Monthly: Check dock placement hasn't shifted
• 🔧 Every 3 months: Run full discharge/charge cycle
• 🔧 Mop Station: Clean water contacts and tank connections weekly

Yeedi Battery Best Practices:

• Keep robot on dock when not in use (Yeedi's smart charging prevents overcharge)

Common Questions

Why won't my Yeedi Vac 2 Pro charge even after cleaning contacts?

Check the auto-empty dock carefully. The suction port can get clogged with dust, preventing proper seating. Also verify the dustbin is fully inserted—Vac 2 Pro won't charge with dustbin misaligned. Try removing and reinserting the dustbin firmly.

How do I know if my Yeedi battery is dead vs charging problem?

If the robot charges (light comes on) but dies within 10-15 minutes of cleaning, the battery is likely degraded. If it won't charge at all (no light, no response), the charging system may be at fault. Test with a known-good dock if possible, or contact Yeedi support.

Can I leave my Yeedi on the charging dock all the time?

Yes, Yeedi robots have smart charging technology that prevents overcharging. Leaving it docked keeps the battery at optimal levels. However, if you won't use it for 2+ weeks, charge to 50% and store off the dock in a cool, dry place.

My Yeedi Mop Station won't charge AND won't refill water - are they related?

Possibly. Both functions require proper docking alignment. If the robot isn't seated correctly, neither charging nor water functions work. Check that drain tray isn't full (blocks docking), mop pads are installed correctly, and all contacts are clean. Reset the station by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Does Yeedi warranty cover battery replacement?

Yeedi typically offers 1-year warranty covering battery defects. Normal battery degradation after heavy use isn't covered. Contact Yeedi support within warranty period—they may send replacement battery or offer discounted replacement. Keep purchase receipt for warranty claims.
