Default newbie - i180 flashes only red 4x on powerup

Just bought my first Segway, a i180 - got it for $200 CDN cause the PO said it had bad batteries. I'm pritty handy and unafraid of projects so I got it. Cosmetically it appears as in great condition.

So I left it plugged in over night and after disconnecting the cord I put the red key in - it immediately shows the grey display (startup test) for 1 second and then just starts to flash solid red 4 times with 4 beep/beep tones (no icon is displayed - just flashing red), and then it shuts off. Tried a few times and got the same thing. I downloaded a manual and could not find what this error means (the manual shows that all red displays should have an icon too?).

So I removed bought batteries (which are lithium 73V) and tested each on my multimeter - one was 79V and the other 80V. So what does that mean? Is it normal for the battery to be higher than the rating? Does this mean the batteries are good? Can a bad battery still show the proper volts but still be bad (ie. no capacity)? Also I see the PO opened the battery packs - if I reopen them is there some other test I can do to confirm battery are good?

Would really love some advice where to check next, and what my solid red light means. Thanks
