Another newb Q... Battery health,

[fabricGator]

When looking at used segway, is there any way for a consumer (potential purchaser) to gauge the battery health?

Another question:

Is there a de-coder guidance for the Segway unit serial number? Perhaps year of manufacture and the units position on the assembly line.

It is my belief that I read (perhaps on here) that there is a usage meter (mileage) but there is a service like a firmware update that wipes that usage back to zero.

I imagine that a certified service/repair station has a laptop or scanner that can access the 'brain'. Do any of you folks have that ability?

When I buy a system, I fully expect to have full control over my equipment. For example, I have an installers manual for my home alarm system. When my subscription with Brinks runs out, I plan to reprogrammed the dialer to call my cell phone instead of their office. I can better determine if the police should be contacted when I am not home.
