When charging is complete (A), disconnect the charging plug from the battery charging
socket (B) and unplug the charger from the outlet.
The magnetic charge port lid will drop closed to seal it against water and debris (C).
INFO: Please note that Li-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on
age and use. Strongly reduced operating time 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, whichever
occurs first. Replacement batteries can be purchased from your Authorized
Specialized Retailer.

The charge level of the battery is displayed during your ride on the display of the MasterMind
TCD-w. The charge level can be customized to be shown in any of the fields on any page of
the MasterMind TCD-w.
At approximately 10% (depending on cell temperature and other factors) battery charge
remaining, the system will start to reduce the amount of motor support to ensure continuous
assistance at lower charge levels. At 4%, the system switches off motor support, leaving the
bike powered on. This not only supports battery health and lifetime, it also allows you to keep
wired lights powered for about 2 hours.
If your bicycle is at a standstill for 15 minutes or longer, the system will turn itself off to save
power. In order to continue riding with support, you have to turn the system on again.
WARNING! When the battery level has dropped low enough for the motor
system to shut off and the bike to go into power saving mode, wired lights
will be powered only for a limited period of time providing some visibility,
up to approximately 2 hours depending on multiple factors. You should stop
riding as soon as possible and charge the battery. Lights may shut off at any
time without further warning.
