Possible Causes

Aged battery with reduced capacity, Very tall or wet grass increasing current draw, Cold ambient temperatures, Partially failing battery cell group

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and disconnect the charger before opening the battery compartment.

  • Check mowing conditions: Avoid mowing when grass is very wet or excessively tall. Pre‑cut with a conventional mower if necessary.
  • Review battery age: If the battery is several seasons old, its capacity may be significantly reduced and require replacement.
  • Inspect battery pack: Look for swelling, damage, or corrosion at the terminals.
  • Use app diagnostics: Some Segway models report battery health in the app. Check cycle count and health percentage.
