8. Operation
• The battery is protected from water penetration (IP68).
• Use the Ultralight battery 402 exclusively with the Ultralight 402 outboard
motor.
• Only use the power supply unit supplied or one authorized by Torqeedo to
charge the battery pack.
• You extend the lifespan of your battery if you do not expose it to hot
environments for longer than necessary. In order to guarantee the longest
possible lifespan of the battery if you store it for a long time (e.g. over the
winter) it should be charged to around 50 % and stored between 0 °C and
+15 °C / 32 °F and +60 °F.
• Protect the battery pack from mechanical damage.
• Do not short circuit the battery pack.
• Avoid submerging the battery pack for longer periods of time.
• Only charge the battery at environmental temperatures between 0 °C and
45 °C / +32 °F and +115 °F.
• The LIMA battery cells only catch fire if they are exposed to temperatures
over 300 °C / 570 °F. This is an important advantage over other lithium-
based battery systems. If this should occur try to put the battery in a
location where it will not cause damage. If this is not possible, keep
your distance or cover the battery with sand or other dry, inflammable
materials.
9.2 Tilting device and lock
For normal movement the fixing lines that go to the lower end of the swing arm should
not be fixed in the clamp block. This enables the motor to tilt up if it gets in contact with
obstacles under water. To move in reverse the lower fixed line must be fixed to the clamp
block.
To tilt the motor the lower fixing line
must
be released. By pulling the upper line the mo-
tor can be tilted out of the water and fixed in that position using the second clamp block.
The motor does not start if it is tilted up.
