Replacing the Battery Packs
Tools Required: 3.0mm hex wrench, torque wrench
Before you begin:
WARNING! Do not attempt to open Battery
Packs. The cells within the Battery Packs
contain toxic substances. If the casing of a
Battery Pack is broken or if a Battery Pack
emits an unusual odor or excessive heat or
leaks any substance, do not use the Battery
Pack. Do not handle a damaged or leaking
Battery Pack unless you are wearing
protective rubber gloves. Dispose of rubber
gloves and damaged Battery Pack properly in
accordance with regulations governing
disposal of toxic materials.
Use care when handling Battery Packs. If you
are transporting your Segway HT, be sure to
protect the Battery Packs to avoid damage
during shipment.
Inspect Battery Pack gaskets (foam rubber
material surrounding the connector). Gaskets
need to be in place and in good condition.
Keep Battery Packs out of reach of children
and pets.
Always shut down your Segway HT and
unplug the power cord before performing any
maintenance or installing any part or
accessory.
Read and follow the warning label on the
Battery Pack.
Follow these instructions carefully. Failure to
follow these instructions carefully could
damage your Segway HT and render it unsafe
to use.
Do not mix Battery Pack types. The Segway
HT uses 2 NiCd or 2 NiMH Battery Packs. The
Segway HT operates at the performance level
allowed by the lesser battery. Whenever you
replace a Battery Pack, you should consider
replacing both Battery Packs.
Contact the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) for proper recycling
procedures. Telephone [phone] or
visit www.rbrc.org.

chassis.
3. Seat the new Battery Packs on the chassis
with the curved edge facing outside of
