The lithium-ion battery is not sensitive to cycles (one cycle = discharge and recharge).
The cells lose around 20% of their capacity after using 500 times the battery capacity
(i.e. after 500 discharges at 100% depth of discharge or 1,000 discharges at 50% depth
of discharge, etc.). This lifespan indication refers to standard conditions (especially with
temperatures of around 20°C / 68°F). The battery does not have a memory effect.
It is more important for the lifespan of your battery that it is not exposed to excessive
heat on an ongoing basis. If it is to be stored for a longer period of time the storage area
should be cool.
Using the motor in a hot climate or at high daytime temperatures is not critical. After use
you should take the motor out of the sun if possible.
The battery electronics also allow the battery to be charged when in use (charging and
discharging at the same time). In this case, the input power displayed in the tiller repre-
sents only the net power taken from the battery. If the charging power is higher than the
power consumed by the motor the display indicates a power consumption of zero watts.
If the battery is submerged in water over one metre deep or is sub-
merged for more than 30 minutes in water of any depth, please contact
Torqeedo Service and do NOT attempt to recover the battery yourself.
Explosive hydrogen gas may form if water enters the battery.
• Except when charging the charging socket must always be closed.
To do so please use the flap provided.
• Do not cover charger or battery while charging.
• Charge your battery in dry conditions. Corrosion may occur and water
may enter the battery through the charging plug.
