Once the Range Extender has run out, the internal battery
will switch to providing power to the motor if it has any
or Orbea RS Toolbox will switch to showing the charge lev-
* This graph shows the performance of the Range Extender together with the Orbea RS 540 Wh internal battery. Internal
batteries with different capacities will give different joint capacity results.
See the "Viewing the battery charge level" paragraph of the "Using Rise" section of this manual for details of the different
ways of viewing the battery charge level on the Rise.
