OVERVIEW DRAWING

HARDWARE

The C961 comes with all of the necessary hardware to mount on your handlebars. You simply decide where you would like to install it on your handlebars and use the appropriate hardware to attach it.

INTERFACE

BATTERY CAPACITY

Battery gauge estimates in percentages:

The battery icon ﬂashes when the battery is low.

The C961 battery gauge estimates the battery capacity based on the real-time battery power output voltage reading and converts it to an estimated % at current riding conditions. This is why it can ﬂuctuate while riding as power demand/output changes.

Please note, that this is just a rough estimate of battery capacity based on riding conditions, and we recommend checking the battery gauge on the battery itself for a more accurate battery gauge by using the charge indicator button and lights. The C961 display is a great entry-level display, however, it is unable to display the real-time voltage of the battery, so the battery gauge is just an estimate.
