Left Segway i2 Uncharged, Swapped Batteries now E042 Error
Hello,
I left my Segway i2 (with around 200 miles) unplugged for eight months or so. (I now know that was a bad idea.) I then tried to plug it in but the rear battery gave a red light. I read on a forum that unplugging it and plugging it in may make that go away, as well as leaving it charging for a day. I got the red light to go away but the rear battery would still not charge. I swapped the batteries and now I am able to turn the Segway on but I get the E042 error. What do you recommend doing for my next steps? Would a new battery solve the issue? Thank you in advance. |

That happened to me after I left it unplugged for the winter. I took it to the closest dealer and paid something like $250 for them to recondition the battery.

MTO battery had recommended that I keep my I2 plugged in and on a timer. I have done so and the timer is enabled for about two hrs a day. This is my backup segway, do it hasn't been used for about 6 weeks. Anybody have any feedback or thoughts about how not using the segway for a length of time and having it left in this condition (charging for about 2 hrs a day) will impact the battery functionality ?

Wen your batteries are dead you can try to connect de carchger from e electric scooter to charger it to the low cutoff level and a little bit above. It save you a lot of money
