    Satiator Charger with Specialized?

    Relax man. I'm interested in the Satiator so I can charge our ebike batteries to 60% or 70% and have the charger shut off. I will also use it on my EGO mower and blower batteries for the same reason that I don't want to take them to 100%. I don't plan to charge at high current. In fact I...

    Satiator Charger with Specialized?

    I have an email into Grin at Satiator since nobody here seems to be using one on a Specialized Turbo.

    Satiator Charger with Specialized?

    Reviving an old thread here. I am a battery geek and really want a Satiator. See below from their website. Does anybody have one working on a Specialized Turbo? "This adapter cable uses the straight version of the Rosenberger plug and has one of the signal pins connected to a 5V supply...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    IOS 15.1 did not fix it. I give up. I guess there is something about an 11 Pro that doesn't play nice with the Tero.

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    Well to be fair the USB-C port is also used by the dealer for connecting to their computer.

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    OK. Now this is crazy. Our Tero will charge my wife's 5th generation Ipad no problem. Same USB-C to lightening cable that won't charge my 11 Pro. I'm updating my phone to IOS 15.1 to see if that solves the problem. I also tried an Android Galaxy A11 and it charges no problem. So clearly...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    Very interesting. I was just at our dealer picking up her bike and tried my Iphone 11 Pro on their 2022 Tero 5 and it was the same. Charge for a few seconds and then stopped. Specialized support spoke with my dealer today and said the USB-C port is not for phone charging. I guess they didn't...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    Thanks Stefan. Where did you find this spec? My shop told me the same thing. I can't think of any modern smartphone that doesn't want at least 1 amp. Specialized needs a new firmware that limits the current draw from the USB C output. My dealer has other bikes with the same display so I...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    We bought my wife a Tero 3.0 on Saturday. What a great bike. Can anyone with a Tero (or a Como with the same display) confirm that the USB C port on the display will charge a smartphone? When I plug an Iphone 11 Pro into it the phone charges for about 3 seconds and then stops. The manual and...

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    We are going shopping for a bike for my wife today. Will be looking at Giant, LIV and Specialized. Anybody know if the latest Giant bikes with the color display (Explorer E+) allow motor control based upon heart rate? I love this feature on my Turbo Levo Comp. From what I am reading it...

    Anybody buy their ebike with Health Savings Account (HSA) funds?

    So I did some research and it seems the purchase of exercise equipment may be HSA eligible with a letter of medical necessity from a physician. I just had meniscus surgery and cartilage debridement and I'm pretty sure my surgeon would sign such a letter. That would make a 5k ebike a lot easier...

    I need to access my BMS: What is this stuff shown in the photo?

    My battery won't charge. I want to try to wake up the BMS. Charging through the discharge port didn't wake it up. I need to access the BMS so I can try to wake it up by removing then reinserting the cell connector plug while the charger is connected. I also want to check the individual pack...

    48v reads 22.8 volts at charge port: normal?

    I did some further testing and found that if I put my meter on the charge port positive and the discharge port negative I get the full battery voltage.

    48v reads 22.8 volts at charge port: normal?

    I have a Shark type battery with an XLR charging port. I'm trying to determine if the charger is bad or my BMS is bad. The charger will not charge the battery. I am reading 22.8 volts at the charge port and 52 volts at the discharge terminals. Is this normal? I'm not getting any voltage...

    Help me understand how I fixed my battery please

    Yep Zeus had my back. We have an offgrid vacation place with a 48v solar system I installed myself. Working with those batteries (previously Trojan lead acid) and now 280ah of LifePO4 Lischen cells I am super careful. I wasn't being careful at all with this bike battery and the Lion cells are...

    Help me understand how I fixed my battery please

    I bought a bike with a Shark type battery. The battery would not wake up and the level meter on the battery showed nothing. Nothing I tired worked. The battery was reading 43.8 volts at the discharge terminals. I read that it is possible to charge a Lion battery through the discharge...

    Hello from a newbie

    New guy here. I have been researching Ebikes more than I care to admit. I've been all over the place from a cheap bike to a conversion to an expensive Fezzari DS bike. I put the brakes on this weekend and bought an inexpensive starter bike. I'll ride it for a while until I figure out what I...
