Charge Level Display - Speacialized Turbo Levo Manuel Utilisateur

The battery can be charged whether installed in the bicycle or not. Refer to the appropriate
instructions regarding removing and installing the battery. Only charge the battery at an ambient
temperature between 0° C and +50° C (+32° F and +122° F). If outside temperatures are too hot or
too cold, charge the battery inside. For safety reasons, if the battery is too hot, it will not charge.

8.2
During the charging process, the diode on the charger will glow red (Fig. 8.2). When the battery is fully charged,
the diode on the charger will turn green.
CAUTION: If the red LED flashes during the charging process, a charging error has occurred. In
that case, immediately remove the charger from the socket, discontinue use of the motor support
and contact your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
The Battery Management System (BMS) is designed to protect a fully discharged battery from
damage for a period of time. However, in order to maintain the best possible battery performance
and lifespan, Specialized recommends regularly recharging the battery to at least ¾ full (7 LEDs).
Please note that Li-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on age and use. Strongly reduced
operating time after charging can be a sign that the battery is reaching the end of its useful life
and has to be replaced. Provided the bicycle has been used properly, approximately 75% of the
battery's original capacity should remain after 300 charging cycles or two years. Replacement
batteries can be purchased from your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
The charge level of the battery is permanently displayed during your ride. The number of LEDs glowing BLUE indicates
the remaining battery charge (Fig. 8.3). When the battery charge reaches 10%, the last LED will glow RED (Fig. 8.4).
At 15% battery charge remaining, the system will start to reduce the amount of support. At 1%, the system switches
off the motor support, but the TCU display will still be powered.
If your bicycle is at a standstill for at least 15 minutes, the system will turn itself off to save power. In order to
continue riding with support, you have to turn the system on again.
