Hi Dorrington

I am very interested in this post, specifically with regards to the YouTube video you have in which you were able to send the Segway the required info to start up, with another DC source.

What I am thinking for doing is building a cheaper battery and a simple PIC controlled BMS to monitor battery voltage and temperature but send all necessary info to the Segway for it to operate.

From what I saw in you videos, the "coms" to the BMS is I2C protocol?

I assume the Segway sends requests to the BMS and expects a reply with battery info?

Would you be willing to assist with info on the I2C requests and expected responses?
