4.4 Mounting of remote throttle
1. Connect the provided data cable to the connector on the electronics box. Run the
cable to the desired location for mounting the remote throttle. Please ensure that the
cable cannot become strained, twisted or caught in other moving parts.
2. Place the remote throttle in the desired position. The drilling template is found at the
end of this manual.
3. Attach the data cable to the connector on the back of the remote throttle.
Secure remote throttle to mounting location with provided M4 screws.
4.5 Basic information on battery supply
Cruise FP models may be operated with lead-acid, lead-gel, AGM or lithium-based
batteries. Ensure, that cables are properly laid to prevent abrasion.
For performance and ease of operation, Torqeedo recommends using Power 26-104 lithi-
um batteries. (cf. chapter 4.6).
You may, however, choose third-party lithium-based batteries as well as lead-acid, lead-
gel or AGM batteries. (chapter 4.7)
4.5.1 Short remarks on battery supply
The Cruise models can be operated with lead-gel, AGM or lithium-based batteries. Do not
use starter batteries because they are not designed to withstand repeated full discharges.
If lead-based batteries are chosen, we recommend “traction batteries“ or “deep-cycle
batteries“ that are designed to withstand an average depth of discharge of 80% per cycle.
These are often sold for use in forklifts or golf carts. Marine batteries can also be used.
We recommend a nominal capacity of at least 180 Ah since battery manufacturers recom-
mend that lead batteries do not exceed a 50% depth of discharge.
In the following text, the capacity is stated in watt-hours (Wh). The number of watt hours
a motor consumes is an easy calculation if you know the input power of the motor in
watts (W): The Cruise 2.0 FP has an input power of 2,000 W and consumes 2,000 Wh in
one hour at full speed.
The Cruise 4.0 FP has an input power of 4,000 W and consumes 4,000 Wh in one hour at
full speed. If your batteries do not state their capacity in watt-hours, multiply the amp-
hours (Ah) by the nominal voltage (V). A 12-volt, 100Ah battery has a nominal capacity of
1,200 Wh.
