I think the InfoKey might report the level of the lowest performing battery. So if one was half charged and the other full, it would report half. And if one battery was dead, the Segway wouldn't start. I never tried this though - it would be interesting to know for sure.
I remember being told mixing a new battery with an old one will only deliver the performance levels of the old one as Segway uses the weakest link for its redundancy. Could you imagine if it used the strongest and then suddenly died, having to rely on the weakest, only to find that was not up to the job #faceplant
