SL Chargers
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, cable, and charging plug for damage. Never use a charger that is 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
Charger Overview
SL 48 V Charger
Model: SBC-C06
Charging Voltage (DC): 54.6 volts
Rated Voltage (AC): 100 - 240 volts
Charging current: 3 amps
Charging temperature: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
Weight: 780 g
Y-Charging Cable
Enables charging one Range Extender and one internal battery simultaneously
Charging Voltage (DC): 42 volts
Rated Voltage (AC): 100 - 240 volts
Charging current: 2 amps
Charging temperature: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
Weight: 900 g
Notes: Charges at half the speed of a 4 amps charger - using this charger supports battery health even better.
Charging Times
Charging Setup | 3% - >100% | Stops charging | Charging current |
RE on charger | 3h 20 min | 3h 25 min | 1.0 +/- 0.2A* |
Internal battery on charger | 2h 35 min | 2h 55 min | 2.5 +/- 0.3A |
Internal battery + RE with Y-cable | 3h 20 min | 3h 35min | 3.0+/-0.3A |
*Note: Due to a lower charging current, charging the RE alone takes longer than charging the internal battery and as long as charging RE + internal battery through Y-cable. The reason for slower charge times is to maintain battery health for riders (higher currents would stress the cells and decrease health quicker).
