Charging your Batteries
WARNING
Never sit on your Omeo whilst charging either
of the Battery systems.
To maintain best performance of both Battery
systems, ensure the Batteries are fully charged for
at least 12 hours once a month, or once every 12
hours of operation, whichever comes first.
The Batteries will handle all voltage. You will just
need a local adaptor for the Main Charging lead /
plug and Auxiliary Battery Charger lead / plug
supplied.
Batteries systems 1 & 2 are charged separately:
1. The Segway Batteries use the Main Charging
Lead and Plug. This is inserted into the Main
Charge Port on the front of the Omeo and
connected into an AC wall socket
2. The Auxiliary Batteries use a separate charger
(supplied) with a pin plug. This is inserted
into the Auxiliary Battery Charge Port directly
adjacent to the Omeo Seat and connected
into an AC wall socket.
CAUTION
Failure to charge the Batteries could result
in damage to the Batteries. Left unplugged,
the Batteries could fully discharge over
time, causing permanent damage. Use
only charging devices approved by Omeo
Technology / Segway.
Charging times vary depending on the following:
•
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
•
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 centre of the recommended
charging temperature range.
•
If storage temperature is below 0° C / 32° F, do
not charge your batteries. Instead, bring them
into a warm (above 10° C / 50° F) environment
for charging. Doing so will ensure optimal
battery life and performance.
Tip:
Both of the Omeo’s charging systems
automatically prevent overcharging. It is
recommended that you leave your Omeo plugged
into AC power when it is not in use.
