Battery replacement cost
Hi All
I'm a new segway glider. Just took delivery of my I2 last month, and I love it! I have a bad ankle and its painful to walk very far. Now i get around town just fine. I'm looking forward to getting around the area on public transport also but I haven't figured out the system for that yet.
My present info need is regarding batteries and their replacement cost. since the batteries are so expensive to replace, I need to put aside funds for their replacement when the time comes. I sure can't afford to break a couple of grand out of my wallet on the spur of the moment!
So, how does one relate battery life to the real-world cost of the transport? is it cents per mile traveled, cost per day? month? year? cost per charging cycle? How does one keep track of the cycles? I keep mine on the plug whenever i'm not using it so it almost never gets fully discharged.
My dealer says that in her experience, batteries last about five years. At that rate the cost is about $35/month.
If anyone can help me get a handle on this, I'd appreciate the info.
Thanks
