I live on the panhandle of Florida and a few miles from the beach. I covered my x430 (and garage)with an old car cover and think this is all safe. Question: should I unplug the power supply? Worried about a power surge. The mower is at 90% charge currently.
Our segway gadget is wants to start work, says “The mowing has begun.” But after a minute goes back to the charging station and says “Charging has begun.” And charges too long time… What happened? We sprinkle our garden with an automatic water sprinkler (it stands on three legs, we can place it anywhere manually) and the silly gadget gone trough the water. What can we do to make the segway go on to mow the lawn?
It makes this in every hour, once a time. Trying to go on work…
Update: After five or six try and almost two hours resting on the charging station it goes to work, yeay!
Wondering if anyone published charging curves on the x4? Wondering if limiting it to say 80% would not only improve battery life but more importantly, does charging slow between 80-100 SOC like an EV and on a bigger lawn (1.28 acres) it would be more efficient to have it get back out at say 80 or 90?
I did a lot of research on robot mowers for a half acre lot with mature trees with large canopies, and ~20% of the area is a 30° slope. There are other slopping areas but also two very large flat areas (0° but not 100% smooth).
I like the X430 because it includes an RTK antenna as well as LiDAR for the large shaded areas of the yard. Being able to handle 40° slopes is also really important as it gives it lots of buffer ability to handle the 30° slopes I need it to cover. The X430 is rated for more than my half acre lot but if things go well, I can have it cross the street and also mow my main yard, which is even more difficult in terms of angles, structures, and less access to open sky.
Segway seems like they have better support than some of the other LiDAR models on the market. I looked into Husqvarna, but they're slow to adopt LiDAR.
BUT, there's the rear axle problem on the X series. Do we know if there are plans to fix that in newly shipped units? If I buy a unit, how can I guarantee I'm getting new stock and not existing stock released before the fix? It's the end of fall. I obviously don't need to buy it now. I'd rather have a reliable unit than a unit now or bought on a potential upcoming sale.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm in the US. So access to any newly released units is questionable under Trump's robot ban policies.
Is there some sort of setting because this is just STUPID. if the mower fails to dock it goes in standby mode and then shuts down and disconnects. Now the thing is offline and dead. If I am away or fully remote, it's dead, useless,.donezo, nothing. So who really cares if they left it in sleep mode and eventually let the batter drain to my setting before turning it off. In the meantime while it sleeping I might be able to try and redock it or send home, etc. anyone have insight into this?
