- Red light appears immediately.
NiMH batteries were discontinued about 10 years ago.
Thus your batteries are 10 years ( or more ) old.

That is pretty much end-of-life.

The symptoms that you will observe, as they die are:

1
The batteries will just have enough capacity left to power-up the Segway.

2
The batteries will have insufficient capacity for you to ride the Segway.
The Segway will go in to alarm, almost as soon as you try and ride it.

If this is what you observe, you will need new batteries.
