I am trying to recall, but I believe this may be true that the XT did come out with LiIon batteries. I know they came out around the same time.
Considering that the XT mileage range from the factory has always been about 1/2 of the I model counterpart, and the range for NiMH batteries for I (and E) models was only 8 miles, would they have offered a segway with a factory estimated range of only 4 miles? I do not recall this.
Because of all this, and my memory being what it is, I think that while pre-gen 2, the XT may have been released with LiIons.
What I do not know is if it was backward compatible to NiMH.
