Pool Robot Battery Cycle Life: 500-Cycle Test Results

July 24 13:42 2026

For a cordless pool robot, the warranty line that distributors and pool service operators care about is battery cycle life, not peak runtime on a single charge.

The 500-cycle test envelope is the industry-typical threshold at which a Li-ion or LiFePO4 pool robot battery retains usable capacity (typically 80% of original rated capacity).

This article walks through the IEC 62133-2 and UN 38.3 compliance reference, the Li-ion vs LiFePO4 chemistry trade-off, the capacity fade curve across 100/250/500 cycles, and the five battery spec lines an OEM procurement audit must capture before sign-off.
