I have some charging issues with my 530 roomba

How long is it charging until the light goes from flashing red (no charge) to yellow to finally green (full charge) ? If it's not at least 2 hours, sorry I don't have my Roomba papers available, so I'm guesstimating here, it's not getting a full charge. If you can put a voltmeter on the " fully charged" battery pack, that might tell you if the charger is the problem. Clean off the metal contacts where Roomba meets the two metal contacts on the charger. Also just because a battery pack or set is new doesn't mean it's functional. I had a new Apple battery for my laptop that didn't work when I replaced an older one.

The battery is not charging and has died a noble death. Buy a new battery.

You need a new battery - they don't hold their charge after a while. There is a lot of advice on line about how to try to make the battery last longer but 4.5 years is actually pretty good.

The battery is probably not holding a charge anymore you may need to order a new battery.

Your roomba may just need to be reset or maybe a new battery, Link to how to reset.

These are cool machines. If there is a battery it cold need charging or changing. If not, there is a sensor somewhere that just may need cleaning. Thats all I can offer right now. Let me know becuse my Dad has one and I will go over and check his out. Chris

have you poped out the front wheel and cleaned the axle.also pull the 2 roller brushes out and pull the funny looking yellow ends off .clean hair ect. out n reinstall

My Roomba 535 stays in spot clean and will not go into any other mode.

Try resetting your Roomba by removing the battery, unplug the charging connector, hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. This will reset the charging system, replace your battery, connect your charger and see what happens. By the way do you also have a homebase ? If so try that too
