How to Change Batteries in Trilobite?

Post by TrilobiteLover2019 »

Just read piokrza's disassembly post and saw the photos of his Trilo that looks just like mine. My unit has been sitting for a couple of years against its charger, but I failed to use it. Last night I tried and it will run for only 10-12 minutes a shot, but cleans as ferociously as it always did.

Piokrza mentioned accessing/removing/replacing the battery in your post, but didn't say how that was done. Can someone please help me? Can't find any battery-swap instructions or photos online.

Please help. Kicking myself that I let the Trilo just sit idle in my dining room for so many years. Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide.

There is an easlily accessable battery compartment underneath the robot.
Its just 2 screws to be able to open the lid at the bottom of the robot.

You need 2 replacement batteries:
2200 mAh
Ni-Mh
215.00 x 67.00 x 22.50 mm
18 V
With this type of connector:

If i remember correctly its the same batteries in some models of Husqvarna Robot Lawn Mowers as well.
