Karl, I like the way you think. Nice amd analytical. Have you ever (if you haven't already) created a checklist of the basic challenges that might occur on a Segway, especially those that are new to Seg-life like me. You could do a great service to the Seg-community.

I have not heard of this so much on gen 2 machines, but a small obstruction in the socket, or a bad cord would give the same situation, or potentially could.
4. Batteries, as suspected may be bad
5. Charger on the segway may be bad
6. A whole assortment of other things may be at play.
I found it impossible to conclude a specific answer to the OP question from the information provided. If others could, they are smarter than me.
