Husqvarna Automower 450X NERA: Not charging / Empty battery

What this fault means

The mower docks but does not gain charge, leaves before full charge or reports an empty battery.

Safety: Stop the mower and follow the manufacturer safety instructions before physical inspection.

Step-by-step checks

1. Check the charging-station status light.
2. Remove leaves, grass and contamination from the docking area and charging plates.
3. Confirm the mower is seated squarely and both charge plates make full contact.
4. Inspect the power supply and low-voltage connectors for damage or looseness.
5. If charging starts only when the mower is physically pushed/held against the contacts, inspect docking alignment and worn contacts before condemning the battery.
