It's not "startup" that's the issue. Assume that both batteries are sufficient to start and balance (4 bars or so). Now, get on and glide.

With the Ninebot, apparently each battery can independently shut off, without informing the "motherboard" that there's a problem - which should cause a warning and controlled shutdown. - just simply quit supplying power and let the "motherboard" notice that. Now, the other battery has a sudden increased load, and immediately shuts off power. No power, therefore no warning.
