Replacing Batteries<br />

Your <strong>Segway</strong> PT is powered by two rechargeable Li-ion Batteries.<br />

With normal usage and proper maintenance, Batteries should last the<br />

equivalent of 600 to 1000 full charges. As your Batteries near the end<br />

of their useful life, they need more frequent charging and your<br />

<strong>Segway</strong> PT’s range will be reduced. To order replacement Batteries,<br />

contact an Authorized <strong>Segway</strong> Dealer or Distributor.<br />

Replacing Batteries in Pairs<br />

Whenever you need to replace a Battery, consider replacing both<br />

Batteries, and always use pairs of Batteries with the same chemistry.<br />

Replacing only one Battery will not necessarily increase the<br />

performance or range of your <strong>Segway</strong> PT, because the <strong>Segway</strong><br />

PT is designed to operate only at the level allowed by the lowerenergy<br />

Battery.<br />

Redundancy is a critical safety feature built into the <strong>Segway</strong> PT<br />

that also applies to the Batteries. Therefore, you should replace<br />

Batteries in pairs (except for the unusual situation where a Battery<br />

is replaced because of damage or defect and the other Battery<br />

is relatively new).<br />

For information on removing and reseating<br />

Batteries, see “Removing the Batteries” on page<br />

100 and “Reattaching the Batteries” on page 102.<br />
