Gen 1 i180 error
Any idea what this means?
I purchased a gen 1 just got some batteries for it that had been re-called, I put them in and it started and I had a quick ride around then the red light flashed and it went into safety mode. I got back on and all was fine and it did it again. Now it will not even go into balance mode. I have swapped the batteries around and put wd40 on the connectors and left the batteries out for 30 mins still got the red right with spanner. Any ideas It has 3 bars on right and 3 bars on left and spanner |

Hi Dave,
Where are you on the UK? I understand these bateeries quite well and have a set you could test with... you could bring the entire machine or just the batteries I'm in Derbyshire if it's not too far away. best Ian |

Dealer Support Likely needed.
Hi
I think that you will need some official Segway dealer support. Your Segway i180 maintains internal logs. If you have a critical error, or a collection of less critical errors, then the machine will go in to shut down, and display the code you describe. ( Bad batteries do not usually cause this ). ONLY a Segway dealer can assist you. They can download the logs and clear that file. Sometimes if there's simply been a collection of less critical errors, then merely clearing the log file will clear the error condition. Other times if there's been a critical ( or dangerous ) error, then service will be required. Good Luck Michael www.dgbint.com |

Is there anyone in the UK with the ability to do this, I went to Segway UK and they have replied to say that they do not work on Gen 1 segways.

Correct, Segway Inc. completely discontinued supporting the Gen.1 machines and they took all the diagnostic equipment from the dealers so they cannot communicate/program with the main boards any longer. If the batteries were rebuilt with a cell that does not meet spec it can cause this issue. If possible I would recommend trying another set of batteries to see if the issue goes away.

Hi Jason,
When mine had an internal log error it wouldn't start at all. It does sound like a weak cell... Regards, Ian |
