This chapter describes removal and installation procedures for the Li-ion
batteries used on a Segway PT. For information on using the batteries, including
charging, maintenance, safety, specification, and general care please refer
to the
Segway PT User Manual and the Li-ion Battery Important Information
document.
WARNING!
• Failure to follow these safety precautions could lead to electrical shock,
serious injury, death, or damage to property.
• Read all instructions.
• Power off the Segway PT.
• Unplug the Segway PT.
• Do not use the battery if the battery casing is broken or if the battery
emits an unusual odor, smoke, or excessive heat, or leaks any
substance. Avoid contact with any substance seeping from the battery.
Batteries contain toxic and corrosive materials that could cause
serious injury.
• As with all rechargeable batteries, do not charge near flammable
materials. When charging, the batteries heat up and could ignite a fire.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exposure to battery voltage
could result in death or serious injury.
• Observe and follow all safety information on the warning label found on
the battery.
• Use only Segway-approved charging devices to charge the batteries.
• Do not attempt to open batteries. Do not insert any object into the
batteries or use any device to pry at the battery casing. If you insert
an object into any of the battery ports or openings you could suffer
electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire. Attempting to open the
battery casing will damage the casing and could release toxic and
harmful substances, and will render the battery unusable.
• Do not submerge the PT, batteries, or powerbases in water. Do not
use a power washer or high-pressure hose to clean a PT. Avoid getting
water into any of the connectors. Avoid exposing the Segway PT to
heavy downpours or extended periods of heavy rain. If you suspect the
batteries or powerbase have been submerged or experienced water
intrusion, call Segway Technical Support immediately at 1-866-473-
4929, prompt #2. Until you receive further instructions, store the PT
upright, outdoors, and away from flammable objects. Failure to do so
could expose you to electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire.
• Comply with all local and federal or individual country laws when
disposing of and transporting Segway PT batteries.
• Use only Segway-approved fasteners.
• Insert fasteners slowly and carefully. Do not cross-thread or over-
tighten fasteners. Tighten only to the prescribed torque.
