If your battery has not enough capacity to reach your destination, benefit
from the decisive advantage of the hybrid concept of your CS: Without
drive assistance you can ride it like a conventional bicycle with an unlimited
range and nearly without loss of riding characteristics.
Warning
If your rechargeable battery runs empty during the ride, be sure to charge
it only with the supplied charger. Do not use the charger of any other
manufacturer, not even when the connector of the charger matches your
rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up, catch fire or
even explode!
Notice
The batteries of your CS have no memory effect. It is recommended that
you charge the battery after every long ride. Do not park your CS with a
fully discharged battery. Risk of the battery’s deep discharge.
Notice
Fully discharge your rechargeable battery every three month and recharge
it then immediately. This calibrates the capacity indicator and restores its
accuracy.
Notice
Keep in mind that the battery of your CS shows signs of wear over the
years. This results in a continuous reduction of the battery’s capacity and
in a reduced range compared to its state as new. After a certain period of
time the battery even needs to be replaced.
Safety instructions
Tips on how to exploit the battery’s capacity to the maximum are given in
the chapter
“Safe handling of the rechargeable battery”
