Quick Answer
If your cordless pressure washer has no power, first check that the battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Use the battery test button to check the charge level. If the battery charge is low, recharge it before attempting to use the pressure washer again.
Tip: Do not continue using the pressure washer once the battery level becomes low, as this can affect performance.
Before You Start
Before carrying out any checks:
- Switch the pressure washer off
- Remove the battery pack
- Inspect the battery and terminals for any signs of damage or dirt
Important: Only use the battery and charger supplied with or recommended for your pressure washer.
How to Fix a Cordless Pressure Washer with No Power
Follow these steps to identify the cause.
1. Check the battery charge
Press the battery test button on the battery pack.
Check the battery indicator lights:
- Three green lights indicate the battery is fully charged.

If the battery is low, recharge it fully before use.
