31. In the event of contact with the skin: promptly eliminate any solid particles. It is essential to
swiftly remove any clothing that has come into contact with contaminants.
32. In the event of a fire, we urge you to follow these essential steps:
33. Battery Safety:
Exercise extreme caution and, if feasible, carefully remove any additional batteries
connected to your bicycle.
Always prioritize your personal safety, and do not endanger yourself by attempting to
remove batteries if it puts you at risk.
34. Immediate Evacuation:
Promptly evacuate all individuals from the immediate vicinity of the fire.
Ensure everyone moves to a safe location away from the flames, heat, and smoke.
35. Fire Suppression Techniques:
Utilize copious amounts of cold water to extinguish the fire.
It is recommended to use at least ten times the weight of the battery pack in cold water.
This substantial amount of water helps to cool down the affected area and douse the
flames effectively.
36. Before storing the battery, 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 being unable to be charged again.
37. Always keep the battery and charger out of reach of children. They are not toys.
Keep original printed papers with product information for later consultation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future reference so that they can be easily
accessed when needed.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in
damage to electrical components and may cause a fire or electric shock,
which may result in serious personal injury or even death. If your battery is
damaged, do not charge it. If possible, bring the charge down to under 50%
and do not store it inside your home or office. Store it outside in a safe area
or in an appropriate specialty battery container. If your battery presents an
immediate danger, call your local Fire Department.

Always keep in mind that when sufficiently charged, your battery has enough energy stored
inside to cause a fire. Charging, using, handling, or transporting a damaged battery may
seriously injure you and others.
Because of this, it is important to regularly inspect the battery for physical damage, especially
after a crash or impact. If your battery is fully hidden inside the frame, checking it may require
partial disassembly of the bicycle which should be performed by your Authorized Specialized
Retailer. It is also important to regularly check your battery health by connecting it to the
Specialized App. The app may alert you to any internal issues with the battery in which case
you should follow the instructions given to you in the app. You should also have it inspected
regularly by your Authorized Specialized Retailer which has additional tools available and
can also make sure you have the latest firmware installed. Abnormal behavior, e.g., the
battery becomes hot to the touch while charging or stays warm for long periods of time after
disconnecting it from the charger, may be signs that the battery is damaged.
The following are signs of physical damage which may render your battery unsafe
requiring immediate replacement:
Cracking or chipping of the battery enclosure
Thermal deformation (e.g., bulging)
Odor, smoke, or a hissing sound coming from the battery
Leaking of battery fluid
Damaged connectors
Signs of water ingress into the battery (e.g., rust)
WARNING! If your battery has signs of damage, do not charge it. If possible,
bring the charge down to under 50% and do not store it inside your home
or office. Store it outside in a safe area or in an appropriate specialty battery
container. If your battery presents an immediate danger, call your local Fire
Department.
WARNING! Battery liquid can cause skin irritation and burns. If you come
in contact with battery fluid, immediately flush with water and seek medical
assistance, if needed.
