Charging Your Batteries - Segway i2 SE User Manual

Charging Your Batteries

In order to maintain the best performance from your Segway PT Batteries, fully charge the Batteries for at least 12 hours once a month, or
once every 12 hours of operation—whichever comes first. Charge your Batteries only when they are within the specified charging temperature
range (see "Battery Specifications," p. 86).
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 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 center of the recommended charging temperature range. See "Battery Specifica-
tions" (p. 86).
• If storage temperature is below 32° F/0° C, do not charge your batteries. Instead, bring them into a warm (above 50° F/10° C) environ-
ment for charging. Doing so will ensure optimal battery life and performance.
