Segway I2 X2 Large-capacity battery with Bluetooth

[Civicsman]

Bottleworks, all this forum knows about you is what your -40 posts tell us.

It’s a fact that MTO Battery has a long history of battery-related contributions on this forum, and you don’t.

Sorry for poking your ego so severely!

Update 4/18

FedEx notification that batteries are now scheduled for delivery Tuesday 4/20.

I intend to take some photos for my review. Can anyone suggest how to post them or a link for a good image host?

Thanks.

Update 4/19

Woohoo! Batteries arrived today 19 days after ordering them!
That has truly surprised and delighted me.

I have photographed, unpackaged, voltage checked, installed and taken for a glide.

All seems A-OK at this point.

I will start a new thread for my initial and long term review.

Look for Aftermarket Battery Reviews

If you have proof of something, then bring it. Otherwise leave.

Bottleworks, This is a notable sentiment, but I fear may be futile. Civicsman has been doing this for decades. He presents as if he knows all, and does not get the humor and dichotomy of his self made name, as he is one of the least civil people on this forum, and I have been gone for a number of years, only to return to the same droll that I dealt with a decade ago.

Good luck in trying to hold him accountable or reasonable. It was beyond any ability I had years ago, and do not care to try now.

And do not fear, as my support of your trying to hold him accountable will undoubtedly be met with the same vitriol and bile that I got from this source in the past.

Hi Amy,

It appears that the Segway i2/x2 batteries on the AliExpress store with a capacity greater than 5.2 Ah are a ternary lithium chemistry.

I also see one with a 5.2 Ah capacity listed as having "LiFePO4 Ternary Lithium" type chemistry. Can you clarify if this battery uses LiFePO4 cells, or is it using ternary lithium cells?

Do you offer any LiFePO4 batteries at capacity greater than 5.2Ah?

I am considering purchasing a set of new batteries, but I have several concerns about the longevity and safety of the ternary lithium chemistry.

Thanks!

Hello my friend,
We now have three types of batteries.
5.2AH(LiFePo4), 10AH(ternary), and 12AH(ternary)
The greater the capacity, the greater the available mileage.
Please don't worry, our ternary battery is very safe, all batteries are tested before being sent.
And we have a one-year warranty. If there is any quality problem with our battery within one year, I will send you a new battery for free.
Best regards, Amy

Update 04/27

Sorry no real update this week. Too much other work to take the Segways out.

This weekend looks possible. I have been answering questions for a few persons interested in the batteries and taken a couple videos of the charging lights.

Batteries appear to be working fine per the provided APP.

I am learning more about the APP and it’s function and it actually is useful just to know what is happening with the cells in the battery.

The APP has had 2 updates since installing but still has a lockup issue on a less important information page.

There have not been any battery firmware updates which the APP says it is capable of.

Guess we will see. Stay tuned.

Update 05/19/2021

Batteries are working great have completed 2 19 mile glides and 1 24 mile glide all with battery remaining.

I am ordering 10 more batteries from Amy to have comparison tests between my units (i2, X2, i2se)

Will work on long term tests now.

After contemplating buying some of these batteries for some time without any real information online about them, I finally found this post and was convinced I should buy a set. I purchased the 5.2ah batteries as well about two weeks ago. Ali Express has sent several updates and kept me well informed. Even showing a count down clock to when the items would be shipped overseas. So far I have had a small mix-up with the tracking number where I received the wrong tracking number. It said they were on the way, then they had been delivered already on Friday. I messaged Amy on Friday about the issue.Really had my hopes up I would have them for Memorial Day weekend. Would have been less than a 2 week wait. New tracking number was given on the same Friday showing a label has been created but not shipped at this point (Monday). I can say Amy has been great with quick communication and I understand Mix-Ups can happen so no hard feelings at this point as the time frame would still be extremely quick if they showed up today. I will keep you updated.

Thanks for the information. I am still incredibly happy with mine.

My initial order of 2 batteries with Amy took 19 days to be delivered due to the Chinese Holiday.

I am waiting now on my second order of 10 batteries. They were delayed for a week due to Amy’s vacation so I expect it to take a couple more weeks.

No worries though. I am also getting the diagnostic tool and charger with this order so I can report on them once they arrive.

Also if you have looked at Aliexpress lately it appears the least expensive 5.2ah (6ah) have gone up in price by about $100. The higher amperage ternary batteries have gone down in price.

I think they may be trying to steer us to the non lifepo4 batteries.

I will ask.
