We DONT WORK with Specialized! Only a few copies has ever been sold in sweden! we had about 3 in so far and done videos on those. Its a good ebike but if you buy a Specialized ebike you most like WONT be able to buy a new battery when you need it since they usually only Sell spare batteri 3-4 years after the bike is released and the battery usually last 4-5 years and cant be repaired. Well Of course they can be repaired by reverse engereering the specialized system but it cost about 11,2 miljon dollars so no one will do that. It might be different in their homemaket in USA but if spare batterier are not in production they are NOT AVAIBLE.
This is factually wrong - I just checked for the Specialized Levo. The first generation has been released 2015. Seven years have past since then and you can still buy a battery online, delivered within 2-4 days. I then got curios and continued checking for older models: Specialized has made its first E-Bike in 2013, called the Specialized Turbo, and you can STILL buy a battery in 2022! Not only that: You can buy a battery now that has WAY more power than the one from 2013 and yes, it does fit to the old bikes. Stop spreading lies.
@@nicolozak you fell for a lie from @The Battery Doctor. Research by yourself or read my comment above: You can still get batteries for the first E-Bike Specialized has ever produced, you can even get a battery with MORE power now then the release version had in 2013...

*Great **Latest.Bike** . I upgraded the pedals, added fenders and installed a handle bar extension to raise them. Now it’s a pumped out E-Bike. I love it.*
Hi, great video. Have two of these batteries now with same issue. As others requested, what was the outcome of charging the cells? Did is fix the issue? Do you have a video on how to charge the cells back up? I'm in the US. Any recommendations greatly appreciated...
Very good friend. How was the issue of this battery solved? I have one like it and three red lights blink, but then it goes off and only seven green LEDs stay on with the battery fully charged. It is at 75% charge and says it is fully loaded.
Is it possible to add larger internal cells/batteries in the battery to increase the life when riding? 504wh is very poor and currently only getting 14miles while climbing 2x 1500ft 3mile climbs (along with the downs). Or any way of creating a smaller backup battery to take?
Did you ever rebuilt such an battery with longer lasting / bigger cells - means like 700 Wh . Is it the motorcontrolunit onthe back or is it just for the battery? Feel free to comment! Greetings from germany, Jd
At 3:10 the part you remove is probably the skid plate to protect the battery if this off-road oriented mountain bike hits rocks on the trail. I have a sister bike of the Kenevo, the Levo.
Anyone know if this battery can be repacked? I have a perfectly working battery I'm just thinking of later down the line as repacking would be alot cheaper than buying another from specialized
How can you charge up just one pack if it is lower than the others? Will be the charger positive connected to group 2 for example and negative on group 3 to charge them up ?
Hello friend, I have 3 of these batteries on the bench for maintenance, I would like to understand, if I change the lithium cells, do I need to erase the memory of the circuit for it to recognize it as health at 100% again? If necessary, how to do this?
I have the same battery 4 years old that is saying it's in permanent failure yet is has 87% health. Specialized said they have no answers and won't replace. What can I do or who could I take it to?
Hey Doctor! We need to hear if you got this battery alive again? I had the same issue! But the bike drove OK for 35 to 40 kilometers.. I talked to LBS and he advice me to firmware upgrade the battery.. My charger worked and I could charge the battery.. but the bike cut off at 30%.. I measured the cells and have 3 cells with 0.2V under the other 7 cells. After the FW upgrade the battery is dead!! It flashes red in 5 of 10 pixels and the test software says replace battery. (before fw upgrade the bike worked) So specialized killed my battery :( Now im charging cells individually.. But software is still locked to this dead battery state. Have you had any success in charting individual cells?
Anyone succeed refurbishing M1 battery? I had threebateris with same symptoms, 3 blinking red led and beeping. Internal cells are OK, currently charged on 3.7v/block but still BMS does not want to take charge over original charger. BMS has RISC processor but cannot find anyone on internet that successfully refreshed or modified firmware to clear state.
In case of you charge the battery block by block (so not with the original charger), is the battery able to drive the motor? I mean, does the power electornic part of the board work to the direction of the motor?
I have a newer levo with 700wh battery it has 21700’s I believe. Would it be possible to remove half the cells and still have all the electronics still function?
The red blinking is normal - It's waiting for an input from the rider to switch to "start" mode - I.e. it's booted up / ready / Armed - it will switch to run status once a load is put on it . If you have a big resistor sitting around or anything to discharge with - put a load on it and it should switch to the charge status and mode indication . The really "stupid" part with this pack is that it does not care if the drive unit is connected or not - it simply does load / draw etc . . .
@@user-ib5sq6kx7d These batteries have a behavior where the controller will bring the battery up to a ready state but the indicator will flash red until there is a draw from the motor. I'm not sure how this is programmed in the controller but it is a bit strange as they do not seem to that all the time. It may have something to do with not being actively paired with the app. You can trick the battery into going "green" by briefly putting a load on the leads that would connect to the motor - or just plug it directly to the motor and test. I have never found a thorough explanation of this mode just vague mentions of it somewhere on a troubleshooting forum. I rebuilt two of these packs after insulating and sealing around the controller board. I replaced all the cells in both packs and charged them equally to about 60 percent prior to sealing the packs back together then charging them. Notably I have no knowledge of how this controller "exactly" works but I was willing to try it as I had nothing to loose as both my packs were working but would voltage dip in a few miles and cause a shutdown. ;) Overall - the design of this pack seems great except for the control board buttons which in both of my packs ( including a non-recalled one ) was open to allow water in.
You speak that you are the doctor of the baterie ok, but you don't give us an answer that we want: can the specialized battery be recell or increase the capacity? I hope for an answer Thanks
Seems like @specialized is not taking care of it's customers. We should all get together and write something to them. Use whatever means we have to have our batteries that are defective taken care of.
Where are you located??? I have the same problem (with video of my two red lights). I let a friend have my bike for a year and he did not trickle charge.
well since its really cant be repaired you will not find any "Repair your specialized turbo battery easy videos". You will have to by and new one and then your bike will stolen... good luck

Ma alla fine la batteria l'hai riparata? Se si come? Io ho lo stesso problema.
Grazie per una risposta.
We need aftermarket stores that can overhaul batteries and motors

Can I put my own plug in to replace this plug or can I leave this plug and put another charging plug in on the power cable to the motor

Where could I get a spare case for this specialised battery and what is the rosenbergerer battery end attached to inside please as mine is damaged
You cannot get spare case, try buying a defective one on forums. The cable assembly seems like: C003-B1-1000-C
What do you think can be the space replaced with aftermarket BMS?

hey guys , im still have the same problem of this video , please help

Very interesting but I found the background muzak very distracting.
Ya there is a weak point by the lights of battery where the cover comes off easily but I guess Specialized doesn't want to admit to it.
Pls go to depth regards specialized battery pack... very interesting. Do you think its possible re-pack cells in this batt ?? THX for vid

As you disassemble it you appear to be just smart enough to be dangerous 😉
Earth to battery doctor - can you fix these batteries?
I'm no electrician, but I'm guessing the WATER DAMAGE is the source of the charging issue.
😜
You don’t fixt it?, why not?
NO, because the BMS was brooken.
The price difference is 5 cents (0.5 SEK), not 0.5 cents as stated in the video
I have the exact same problem, any idea how I can fix it? I would appriciate your feedback.
Do you revive Cell at 0 volt in protection?
The difference between $2.80 and $2.75 is 5 cents, not zero point 5 cents.
