Operating Manual BaseTravel 401/801
The cable set comes with a CF8 50 A fuse that protects the contact points from over-
heating in case of short-circuiting. The battery adapter that can be removed from the
shaft functions as the main battery switch of your drive. Additionally, the Torqeedo Power
battery features an integrated electronic master switch as well as a residual capacity
display.
To increase the capacity using parallel configuration of several batteries, follow the same
procedure as described under 8. (parallel configuration of lead batteries for the
BaseTravel 401).
• The cable cross-section for parallel battery configurations must be at
least 6mm

.
• Make sure the battery poles are clean and corrosion-free.
• To fix them to the battery poles, tighten the screws on the terminals
securely.
