Always turn the battery off and remove the charger from the charge port and wall socket
„
before cleaning the battery or bicycle.
Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the battery or bicycle frame. If there is dirt
„
in or around the charge port, trying using low air pressure or a soft brush to remove it.
For instructions on how to clean drivetrain components, please refer to the drivetrain
manufacturer's instructions.
When cleaning, make sure the charge port on the bicycle is fully closed and no water
„
comes into contact with the electrical components. If wet, leave the charge port open to
dry out completely before connecting the charger.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to
water. Do not pressure wash your battery, motor, or any other electrical
components. Damaging electrical components or exposing them to water
may start a fire which can result in serious injury or even death. Do not use or
charge a battery you believe had water seep inside. Likewise, all connectors,
including the charge port, must be completely dry and clean before using or
charging the bicycle.
WARNING: Do not use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive cleaners to clean the
charger. Instead, use a dry or slightly damp cloth.

WARNING! When the battery is not in use for an extended period of
time, store your battery separately from your bicycle in a dry, cool and
well-ventilated area. Protect the battery against water and moisture. Before
storing, reduce the charge to approximately 50%. Charge the battery back
up to 50% of charge every three to six months to ensure the battery does
not completely discharge itself which can lead to the battery not being able
to be charged again.
WARNING! Do not leave the charger connected to the bicycle or battery
when storing it.

WARNING! When shipping or transporting the battery over long distances,
including air travel, the charge should be reduced to 50% or less in case
it gets damaged during transit. Package it carefully. Never transport a
damaged battery on an airplane.

subject to restrictions and may require special handling, labeling, and/or

Authorized Specialized Retailer may also have helpful information available.
When carrying the battery outside the frame, Specialized recommends using
a specialty battery transport box.
