Hi

You have an i180.
The last of the Series 1 machines.
When working it will be a great machine.

You seem to have the older 'standard' NiMH batteries not the newer 'extended range' Li-ion batteries.
The machine will accept either style.

I suggest your first step is to find another Segway owner nearby.
Request to use their batteries for a few minutes to verify that your machine is OK.

If yes, then proceed to battery solutions.

If no, it will be pretty expensive to repair.


Battery Solutions / options.
You need a matched pair of either NiMH batteries or Li-ion batteries.

NiMH are no longer made.
There are a few folk who open up old batteries, and put new cells in.
Unsure who in the UK might do it, certainly MTO in the USA does.

You can purchase a new set of Li-ion batteries from any Segway dealer, just be prepared for a substantial cost.

Good Luck
Michael
