How Long Do Floor Scrubber Batteries Last?

Knowing how long your equipment will run before it needs to be recharged is important for keeping your business running efficiently. If a large spill happens in the middle of the day, you don't want to find out your floor scrubber is out of battery.

When people ask how long a floor scrubber battery lasts, they're usually talking about two different things:

• How long the machine will run on a single charge.
• How many years the battery will last before it needs to be replaced.

Let's look at both.

How Long Will a Floor Scrubber Run on One Charge?

The runtime depends on the size of the machine and the type of battery it uses.

Here at Mopit, all of our floor scrubbers use lithium-ion batteries. They're reliable, recharge quickly, and don't require the same maintenance as some older battery technologies.

For the Mopit Mid, you can expect about one hour of runtime on a full charge. That's enough time to clean close to 12,000 square feet before needing to recharge.

If you need to clean larger areas, the Mopit Max offers even more runtime at about 1 hour and 45 minutes on a single charge.

For many businesses, that's more than enough to complete their daily cleaning without stopping.

How Long Does the Battery Itself Last?

Runtime is only half the story.

The other question most people have is how long they'll be able to use the battery before it eventually needs to be replaced.

From our experience here at Mopit, our lithium-ion batteries typically last about 4 to 5 years or around 200 charging cycles before replacement becomes necessary.

Of course, battery life can vary depending on how the machine is used and maintained.

Getting the Most Out of Your Battery

Like most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when they're used regularly.

If your floor scrubber sits unused for long periods of time, the battery can degrade faster than one that's being charged and used on a regular schedule.

To help maximize battery life, we recommend:

• Using the machine regularly.
• Recharging it after the battery has been depleted.
• Avoiding long periods of storage without charging.

A little routine maintenance can go a long way toward getting the most life out of your battery.

Final Thoughts

When choosing a floor scrubber, it's important to consider both runtime and battery lifespan.

The Mopit Mid provides about one hour of runtime, allowing you to clean close to 12,000 square feet on a single charge. The Mopit Max extends that to about 1 hour and 45 minutes, making it a great option for larger facilities.

As for the battery itself, you can typically expect 4 to 5 years of service or around 200 charging cycles, depending on how the machine is used and maintained.

Understanding both of these numbers will help you choose a machine that fits your cleaning schedule and keeps you ready for whatever the day brings.
