5.5 Charging operation of larger battery banks
In this case, too, Torqeedo recommends the use of one charger per battery. However, one
charger may be used for two batteries connected in parallel. Charging time will be
twice as long.
Example: charging of one battery bank with 2S2P connection by means of two chargers.

6. Storage and care
6.1 Care
To clean the battery, use any usual customary cleaning agents suitable for synthetics. Use
contact oil to keep pole terminals and screw connections in good condition.
6.2 Storage
• Disconnect all consumers from the battery.
• When stored for a longer period of time, battery should have a
residual charge of 20-40 %. Check voltage regularly which should be
more than 21 V in order to avoid total discharge.
Although the battery is protected against total discharge, it will lose
charge during storage. When discharged to less than 14V, battery
will irreversibly be damaged so that you cannot charge it any more.
Loss of voltage mostly depends on respective storage temperature
and operating condition.
• Ideal battery storage temperature is between 5° and 15°C / 41°F and
59°F.
• During handling and cleaning make sure not to damage ventilation
system.
• Keep battery clean. In case of heavy soiling, false tripping of water
sensor may occur. In this case, battery may be switched on again
by pushing the ON/OFF switch.... Cruise outboard by using the
ON/OFF switch (integrated into Cruise outboard; in case of
operation without Cruise outboard by means of ON/OFF switch
available as accessory).
• Make sure to check the charge status of the battery regularly during
long-term storage. Recharge if necessary.
