[Fix my robot](https://robotsforthat.com/fix/) / [MOVA LiDAX](https://robotsforthat.com/guides/mova-lidax-error-codes/) / The robot shuts down on the spot ● Checked Nov 12, 2026 From MOVA support MOVA LiDAX # MOVA LiDAX "The robot shuts down on the spot": what it means and the fix Steps **2** Tools **None** Parts None Works for MOVA LiDAX Ultra (800 to 2000), LiDAX Ultra AWD (1000 to 3000 AWD) and LiDAX Pro 800. Short answer **What it means:** On the LiDAX Ultra AWD and Pro 800, the mower switches off where it is because the battery is far too hot or too cold. MOVA lists 65 °C (149 °F) or more as too hot on both. Too cold is below minus 15 °C (5 °F) on the AWD and below minus 12 °C (10 °F) on the Pro 800. **Quick fix:** If the battery is too hot, wait until it is below 57 °C (135 °F) before you use the robot again. ## Fix it in 2 steps - If the battery is too hot, wait until it is below 57 °C (135 °F) before you use the robot again. Done? - If the battery is too cold, use the robot only once the battery is warmer. MOVA lists above minus 9 °C (16 °F) for the AWD and above minus 6 °C (21 °F) for the Pro 800. Did it work? **Fixed when:** The mower turns on and works once the battery is back in range. Great, it is fixed.
