Battery Replacement Instructions

WARNING!
Do not use the Battery Pack if the Battery Pack casing is broken or if a Battery Pack
emits an unusual odor or excessive heat or leaks any substance. Avoid contact with any
substance seeping from the Battery Pack.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Exposure to Battery Pack voltage could result in
death or serious injury.
Unplug and disconnect your Segway HT from AC power before removing or installing
Battery Packs or performing any service. It is hazardous to work on any part of your
Segway HT when it is plugged into AC power. You risk serious bodily injury from electric
shock as well as damage to your Segway HT.
The cells within the Battery Packs contain toxic substances. Do not attempt to open
Battery Packs. Do not insert any object into the Battery Packs or use any device to pry at
the Battery Pack casing. If you insert an object into any of the Battery Pack’s ports or
openings you could suffer electric shock, injury, burns, or cause a fire. Attempting to
open the Battery Pack casing will damage the casing and could release toxic and
harmful substances.
Replace Battery Packs in Pairs
Whenever you replace a Battery Pack, consider replacing both Battery Packs, and always use pairs of
Battery Packs with the same chemistry. Replacing only one Battery Pack will not necessarily increase the
performance or range of your Segway HT, because the Segway HT is designed to operate only at the
level allowed by the lower-energy Battery Pack.
Redundancy is a critical safety feature built into the Segway HT. This applies to the Battery Packs.
Therefore, you should replace Battery Packs in pairs (except for the unusual situation where a Battery
Pack is replaced because of damage or defect and the other Battery Pack is relatively new).
