Lithium Batteries

We recommend you do not have your Lithium Segway batteries continuously charging as it is not healthy for the battery. To get the most life out of your batteries follow the steps below.

1. Purchase a digital timer (Like used for Christmas Lights)
2. Set the timer so it is on for no more than 8-10 hours per day.
3. We recommend allowing the batteries to rest 30 minutes after being used before starting to charge.
4. Additionally we recommend allowing the batteries to rest for 30 minutes after being charged before being used.
5. For long term storage charge your batteries completely and remove them from the Segway so they are not connected in any way. Your batteries can be safely stored this way and should be reconnected and charged every 2-3 months to maintain proper charge. Please be advised long term storage of 6-8 months will decrease battery performance. Intermittent use is recommended.

5. For long term storage charge your batteries completely and remove them from the Segway so they are not connected in any way. Your batteries can be safely stored this way and should be reconnected and charged every 1-2 months to maintain proper charge. Please be advised long term storage of 6-8 months will decrease battery performance. This can typically be rectified by fully charging the batteries and using them until the Segway indicates low battery. Lean the machine up against a wall and allow it to fully drain. Allow 12-14 hours for a full charge and repeat the process until you notice the battery is holding a full charge again.
