I've found the part number for the newly designed charger port door - S229900031 - but I can't find them available broadly. Just one web retailer in Germany. Anyone have any insights?

I just received 2 off these from BestBike (I have 2 batt).
5 min later the new battery doors were mounted.
The door has a spring that ensures the open door is keept away from the crankarm.
The hinge has a more solid design.
I hope this is the last time I need to change the battery door 😇

Received mine today, quick easy install, lets see if they hold up :)
 
Nice to see they have a potential fix as I am on my third. This should be a recall item.

After the third hinge failed again i was able to locate it on the trail.

I jb welded a strong magnet on the inside in place of the crap hinge. This helped quite a bit but it did come off again.

The issue is the door sits on the edge of the bash guard. Any hit to edge of bash jams the door upward. Eventually the lever works it's way up and door opens.

Absolute joke design, it makes you wonder what kind of pansy riders they had during testing. This should be a recall item, complete utter failure in design and now we have to pay for a fix?

The entire bashguard should be redesigned with a lip that protects the door.

I beveled the edges of my door so edges sit inboard if the bash guard. I also shaved the lever to a knub so it did not get easily opened. This has helped immensly.

41 Euros shipping to the USA. LOL. No thanks. I'll wait.

That shop sells Levo's. Probably could call and let them look you up in the Specialized system and get a warranty replacement. Just pay for shipping.

Except mine didn’t break. :-)

Being proactive.
 
It looks like at least a few of you have been using this new door kit for a month or more. Other than the one post above ("The door has a spring that ensures the open door is keept away from the crankarm. The hinge has a more solid design.") can anyone report how much of an improvement this is? And I agree the original design is horrible...I hold my breath every time I hop over a log, and roll my eyes every time I latch that battery door that is flimsier than a hamster cage latch.
 
I have also received and installed the new generation door kit to replace the old one which broke off after a relatively minor bump on a log hop-over. It is more burly and a better design, because the edge of the door is inset a bit, slightly more away from harm's way. It is still plastic though, and I def wouldn't call it bomb proof...but we'll see if it lasts.
 
Anyone know where I can get one in the USA?
