Charging Failures
If a failure is detected during charging, all charging will
stop. Depending on the nature of the failure, a solid red
charging indicator light will be displayed or the
charging indicator will be off. (For Li-ion Battery Packs,
the charging indicators will be unlit for approximately 5
minutes after the Cell Balancing stage. See page 25.)
If either or both charging indicators are off or red,
do this:
>
If the charging indicators are off (no illumination),
check to make sure that AC power is present.
> If AC power is present and the charging indicators
are either red or off, unplug the power cord, then
remove and reseat the Battery Pack(s), following
the instructions beginning on page 39.
> If this does not resolve the problem, contact an
Authorized Segway Dealer. For a list of Dealers,
visit www.segway.com.
NiMH Battery Packs are Particularly Sensitive to
Proper Charging Temperatures
If your NiMH Battery Pack is too hot or too cold, the
charging indicator will continue to blink, indicating a
slow or trickle charge, until the battery temperature is
within the charging temperature range. Once stabilized
within this range, the fast charge will begin and the
charging indicator will be solid green.
If the charging indicator lights remain blinking
throughout the entire time that the Segway HT is
plugged in, then the Battery Packs have trickle-
charged the entire time. This will provide only a small
amount of energy into the Battery Packs.
If you are concerned that the NiMH Battery Packs are
too hot or too cold during charging:
>
Check the charging indicators to make sure they
show solid green, indicating fast charge.
> If the charging indicators do not show solid green
within 15 minutes after the Segway HT is plugged
in, move the Segway HT to a location within the
recommended charging temperature range
(see page 23).
> After the Battery Packs are within the
recommended temperature range, reconnect the
Power Cord.
> If the charging indicators still do not show solid
green within 15 minutes, contact an Authorized
Segway Dealer. For a list of Dealers, visit
www.segway.com.
In hot conditions, you can improve charging by:
>
Moving the Segway HT or off board charging unit
out of the sun, or off of hot asphalt (into an air-
conditioned environment is best).
> Placing a fan near the Segway HT or off board
charging unit to blow air over the batteries.
Battery Charge Level Display
The dashed ring around the perimeter of the Handlebar
Display indicates the battery charge level. The following
series of displays illustrates a gradually depleting
battery charge while in Balance Mode:
This series of displays illustrates the same battery
charge levels while in Power Assist Mode:
The Segway HT displays intermediate battery charge
levels using flashing segments (e.g., a battery at
approximately 90 percent displays a flashing top bar).
If the battery charge level is very low, the Segway HT
will notify you of a pending empty battery condition
prior to initiating Safety Shutdown (see page 17).
Do not ride your Segway HT if there is inadequate
charge in the Battery Packs (indicated by the red
unhappy face icon in the Display and no segments
around the perimeter). Carefully monitor your Display
and be prepared to step off if your battery charge
becomes completely depleted.
