• Please note that since 2009 there has been a
ban on carrying lithium batteries with a
capacity >100 Wh on passenger aircraft as
baggage. The battery supplied with this product battery exceeds this
threshold and is therefore prohibited from being carried on passenger aircraft either
as carry-on baggage or cargo.
- The battery charger included in the scope of supply is not waterproof; it must
therefore be protected against splash water during charging.
5.4.4 Charging the batteries from the on-board batteries
It is possible to charge the battery from any DC voltage source within a
range of 9.5V ... 50V.
The required minimum current is 4A.
For charging please use a wire cross-section of at least 0.5 mm
2
.
The dimensions of the required barrel connector are 5.5/2.5 mm. For
example, it is a good idea to use the 12-V battery charger lead made by
Torqeedo. Pay attention to the polarity - see diagram.
If the battery is not charged with the power supply provided (or other Torqeedo
products) please check the polarity of the connection. If the polarity is not respected
the device may be damaged and this is not covered by the warranty
• If you do not use original Torqeedo equipment
to charge your battery from the on-board battery supply,
do ensure that the appropriate wire diameters are used (fire hazards).
• Voltages in excess of 60V (including even short-term
excess voltages) can lead to damage of the battery.
5.4.5 Charging the batteries using solar energy
The battery can be charged directly using the Solar Charger SUNFOLD 50 (Torqeedo item no. 1132-00).
It is also possible to charge the battery with solar panels with an open-circuit voltage of up to 50V. For
charging please use a wire cross-section of at least 0.5 mm
2
. In that case the battery will dynamically
adjust to the panel power.
Technical specifications for barrel connector and polarity: See chapter 5.4.4
