Yeah, all of the sites I poked at had similar stories and options. In your case, I'd be surprised if "reconditioning" succeeds, due to the length of time the batteries were likely 100% drained in storage.
The other option is cell replacement. Most of the places seem to include replacement of up to XX% of the cells as part of "reconditioning", with full replacement of everything needed beyond that.
Well, perhaps I'll take a chance
But it sounds like they might be able to get me working NiMH batteries for $750 total instead of $1800. I can't afford that either, but it's certainly better!
I posted the link for MTO after reading a review from a rider who suffers from MS and uses a Segway to get around.
I really think that's the best use of Segways that I've heard of. It's a really nice wheelchair replacement (though it's a very expensive one).
