The community bike shop I work with received a Specialized Turbo as a donation from a large local bike shop. I don't know its age, but it looks like the original red 2014-2015 models. It came with a beat-up charger labeled "RENTALS". The bike turns on when I poke the button on the downtube, and for a moment the display awakens and the headlight will turn on if I try it. But after a brief few seconds, it turns itself off again.
The charger switches to the red indicator when I plug it into the bike's charge port, but after a short time (minutes) it goes back to green as if the battery is full.
Is anybody here familiar enough with the Specialized Turbo to have a guess why it turns itself off immediately, rather than after putting it under load?
The battery is locked in place with a key that didn't come along with the bike, so I have to pick or break the lock to get the battery out for further examination. Also I have no reason to believe the battery will divulge any of its secrets to me or anybody who isn't the bike it was designed for.
