COMBINED BATTERY LEVEL OF INTERNAL BATTERY
AND RANGE EXTENDER:
When a Range Extender is connected to the bicycle,
the system will calculate the combined capacity of both the
internal battery and the Range Extender. The remaining
battery level shown in the ways below will be the combina-
tion of both batteries taking into account the total capacity
of the system.
LED 1
100% - 21%
20% or less
Almost depleted
· WITH SHIMANO EW-EN100 JUNCTION:
With the bicy-
cle on, the Shimano EW-EN100 junction will show in the
LED1 the remaining battery charge of the battery(ies).
The LED1 will display a green light until the battery
charge is below 21%, after which the LED1 will show a
red light. When the battery is almost depleted, the LED1
will blink in red.
Avoid discharging the battery repeatedly below 10% of
charge. This may affect the lifespan of the cells.
