Charging Your Battery Packs (cont.)
Remember to charge the battery packs on your Segway PT whenever it is not in use. You do not need to worry about
overcharging, so you should always plug your Segway PT into AC power when it is not in use. Even if you will not be using
your Segway PT for an extended period of time, you should leave it plugged into AC power. Otherwise, the Battery Packs
could fully discharge over time, causing them permanent damage. Do not store your Segway PT or Battery Packs for
more than one month without fully charging the Battery Packs at least once every 30 days. This could cause permanent
damage to the Battery Packs.
Charge Indicators
The Segway PT has two LED (Light Emitting Diode) charging indicators. Please refer to the Reference Manual that came
with your Segway PT to determine where the charge indicators are located for your particular model. The charging
indicators provide independent information regarding whether each Battery Pack is charging.
When a green LED is on, the respective Battery Pack is receiving a pulse of current. Slow pulse rates are slow charging
rates, faster rates denote faster charging, and solid green is the maximum charge rate.
Charging Process
The table to the right describes the charging process. The
length of each stage in the process, and the signals from the
charging indicators, will vary based on the following:
• Amount of charge already stored in the Battery Pack:
The lower the Battery Charge Level is, the longer it will
take to complete the charging process.
• Battery Pack temperature: If the Battery Packs are too
hot or too cold, they may not charge, may not progress
through the charging stages, or may take much longer
to charge. The Battery Packs will charge most efficiently
when they are nearest the center of the recommended
charging temperature range.
Charging Failures
If a failure is detected during charging, all charging will stop to that battery pack. Depending on the nature of the failure,
a solid red charging indicator light will be displayed or the charging indicator will be off. (Keep in mind, the charging
indicators will be unlit for approximately 5 minutes after the Cell Balancing stage.) If either or both charging indicators
are off or red, do the following:
• 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 Packs.
• Make sure Battery Packs are within the specified temperature range.
• If these steps do not resolve the problem, contact an Authorized Segway Dealer.

Stage Indicators
Initial Test Battery Pack immediately
proceeds to “Fast Charge”
Fast Charge Solid Green LEDs. The majority
of charging takes place during
this stage.
Cell Balancing/
Fully Charged
Green pulsing LEDs; the time
between pulses gets longer as
the cells come into balance.
