Always refer to the Turbo bike and/or charger manual for detailed information about charging. Here are some key points:
Only use original and compatible chargers with Specialized e-bikes
Do not use the charger with any other bicycle or any other charger with Specialized e-bikes, even if it fits
Turn off the battery, unplug the charger from the battery and remove the battery from the bicycle before performing work of any kind, such as installation, maintenance, cleaning, repair and/or transportation
When charging the battery:
Regularly inspect the charger for damage. Never use a charger that is damaged, or that you suspect to be damaged
Make sure the charging socket and plug are dry before connecting and charging the battery
Only use the Specialized charger supplied with the bicycle or other chargers approved by Specialized
Inspect the charger before every use for possible damage to the charger itself, the cable or the charging plug. Never use a charger which you suspect is damaged or know is broken.

Note
Charging with 4A strikes a very good balance of decent charging speed and supporting battery health.
Charges at half the speed of a 4 amps charger – using this charger supports battery health even better.
Introduced with Turbo Vado Gen 2 and from there on supplied with Gen 2 Turbo Active bikes labelled ”NB” (”No Battery”); NB bikes only go to European markets where this charger works with the standard household power outlets. Important: this charger would not work with power outlets in countries where sockets are rated outside 230-240 volts (e.g. US = 110 volts).
