Default Software upgrade and NiMh batteries (i167)

Hi. My old i167 (gen 1) does not work - "unlocated fault". Our local dealer can't fix it up. I looked at the wires and didn't see any chaffing.

Now I wanna try to upgrade the software. But the dealer told me I won't able to use my old NiMh batteries after that.

Could you tell me, is it true or not???

It is not true. No version of the Gen 1. disabled support for a certain type of battery. Software upgrades in Gen 1 actually enabled support of the Lithium Ions. For all versions of the software upgrades and what each one did, see the bottom of this thread:

JohnG, thank you for quick reply. It looks like I already have the latest version of software.

Does Segway Inc support 1 generation of PT yet? Where can I fix my scooter?
