cell temperature or discharge scenario (e.g. single vs. parallel discharge). Based on these variables, the Battery
Management System decides when best to shut off in order to protect itself and maintain the best battery health
possible.
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.
Always turn the battery off and remove the charger from the charge port and wall socket before cleaning the
„
bicycle.
Make sure the charge port is properly closed before washing.
„
If your bicycle is fitted with a RE, remove the connector from the charge port and close the charge port before
„

cleaning.

Make sure the charge port is free from water and/or dirt, the port should be clean before use. Make sure the
„
system is switched off before cleaning. Blow out the contamination with low air pressure or use a soft brush to
remove dry contamination.
If wet, leave the charge port open to dry completely before connecting the charger or the RE. Always close the
„
charge port when the internal battery is not being charged, or the RE is not in use.
CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure cleaner or hose when cleaning your VADO SL. Best practice
is to use a bucket of water with a wet cloth or a sponge to remove dirt, then dry off all surfaces
with a clean towel.
For instructions on how to clean drivetrain components, please refer to the drivetrain manufacturer's
instructions. Make sure connectors are dry and clean before reconnecting and riding. Ask your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for additional information about cleaning your bicycle.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol, solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the charger. Instead, use a
dry or slightly damp cloth.

ventilated area. Only store the battery at an ambient temperature below +35° C (+95° F).
CAUTION: If the Bicycle or optional RE battery are stored and not in use for extended periods of
time, be sure to charge the battery at least every three months so at least 4 LEDs (30-39%) are
glowing blue and for the RE at least 2 LEDs (33-94%) are glowing green. If the battery is not
charged over a period longer than three months, it can cause damage to the battery.
INFO: Do not leave the battery connected to the charger for extended periods after the battery is charged.

Specialized recommends using an approved battery transport box.
