Mint Cleaner battery charging issue


Mint Cleaner battery charging issue:





After several weeks of testing, I realised that this is a battery charging issue and is not due to the cradle charger as shown in the video. I had left Mint Cleaner turned off for too long and the battery has discharged itself too much. When you tries to charge it back, it will sound out the alarm after several mins of charging. 

To reset this battery charging issue, you simply have to press and hold on the "On/Off" button and then press both the "Sweep" and "Mop" button at the same time. 

Mint Cleaner will stop the alarm and continue to charge as per normal. If the alarm continues to sound again after several minutes, perform the same battery reset procedure again. I have to perform this battery reset procedure for 4 times before my Mint Cleaner decides to quiet down and now it is happily sitting on the floor with its ever cheery blue light waiting for his master's command.

Happy New Year to all my readers! This is such a wonderful year to begin with and I am all excited to hear about the CES 2013 events held at Las Vegas. I certainly wish to be there to  discover all the wonderful new inventions that will be in store for everyone of us for this year!

Here is my latest update on my Mint Cleaner Plus:


After using this Mint Cleaner Plus with charging cradle for a year, it decided to gives way and starts producing some cranky noise. 

It looks like this is a contact problem on the metal contact points between the Mint Cleaner Plus and the Charging Cradle but there is no evident corrosion on those metal parts. The immediate solution to this issue is to plug the power adapter directly to Mint Cleaner and it will charge smoothly as per normal.
