8.4 Connecting the Cruise 2.0 to lead batteries (acid, gel, AGM)
without using the Torqeedo cable set
Proceed according to the instructions for connecting the Cruise 2.0 to lead batteries using
the Torqeedo cable set.
Especially observe the instructions on the cable cross-section and the internationally
proscribed use of a master switch and a fuse. The master switch and the fuse must be
designed for a permanent load of 125 A.
Torqeedo accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to provide or inadequate fuses,
failure to provide or inadequate master switches, cable cross sections that are too small
or unsuitable contacts.
As an interface for the power supply, the Cruise is equipped with a high-current plug that
is compatible with Tyco or Anderson plugs. You can also obtain high-current plugs as
replacement parts from Torqeedo Services or your specialist dealer.
• The cable cross-section for battery configurations must be at least
25 mm
2
. We recommend a cable cross-section of 5 mm
2
.
• You must always use a master switch designed for a permanent load of
at least 125 A.
• Always use a 125 A fuse.
• All contacts must be designed for a permanent current of 125 A.
• Serial and parallel configured batteries must always have the same
charge condition. That is why you must use only the same type of
batteries in configurations (same capacity, same age, same
manufacturer, same charge condition) and fully charge each battery
separately in your charger before you connect it up. Differences in the
charge condition can lead to extremely high compensatory currents or
overloads that overload the cables and connectors or the battery itself.
In extreme cases, this can cause fires and injuries.
• Make sure the battery poles are clean and corrosion-free.
• To fix them to the battery poles, tighten the screws on the terminals
securely.
