Charging Your Batteries
To maximize the performance of your Segway PT Batteries, fully
charge your Batteries for at least 12 hours, once a month, or after
every 12 hours of operation—whichever comes first. Charge your
Batteries only when they are within the specified charging
temperature range
For more information, see “Specifications for the
Batteries” on page 63 .
Charging times vary depending on the following:
z
Amount of charge already stored in the Batteries— The lower the
Battery Charge Level is, the longer it will take to complete the
charging process.
z
Temperature of the Batteries— Batteries that are too hot or too
cold may not charge or may take much longer to charge.
Batteries charge most efficiently when they are close to the
center of the recommended charging temperature range.
For more information, see “Specifications” on
page 63 ).
Failure to charge the Batteries could result in permanent damage to
them. Left unplugged, the Batteries could fully discharge over time,
causing permanent damage.
Use only charging devices approved by Segway.
