4. Then, choose whether the battery status shall be displayed in percent or in volts.
5. The next step is to supply the on-board computer with information about the batteries.
Start with entering whether the motor is connected with lithium batteries or with lead-
gel or AGM batteries. Select “Li” for lithium or “Pb” for lead-gel or AGM batteries.
Confirm your selection by pressing “setup” again.
6. Enter the size of the battery bank. For this enter the ampere-hours (Ah) for the batte-
ry bank. Please use the throttle lever to select the correct number of ampere-hours.
Pushing the ”setup“ button will confirm your selection and exit the setup menu.
Remember: a battery bank consisting of two 12 V/200 Ah batteries connected in series
has a total capacity of 200 Ah at 24 V (not 400 Ah).
The battery charge status and remaining range can only be calculated after completing
the initial setup and the first calibration (see chapter 5.3.3.2).

5.3.2.2 Usage and calibration of battery charge display
Having entered the battery information in the setup-menu, the on-board computer now
knows the capacity of the battery bank. When the motor is in use, the on-board com-
puter measures the consumed power and determines the percentage of battery charge
remaining and the remaining range based on the current speed.
The calculation of the remaining range takes into account the fact that lead-based
batteries do not provide their full capacity at higher electrical currents. Depending on
the battery used this effect may result in the battery charge indicator showing a relatively
high charge level in percent but the remaining range at full throttle is very low. By mo-
ving slower you can still use the available battery charge.
To use the indicator of the battery charge status and remaining range in your Cruise, your
assistance is required in two ways:
1. You need to reset the charge level on the Cruise FP system every time you fully char-
ge the battery bank. To do so press the “cal” button in the center of the display. This
will reset the charge level to 100%. To confirm the value and exit the calibration menu
press the “cal” button again.
As deep discharges of lead-based batteries adversely affect the lifespan of the batte-
ries, we recommend charging fully at the end of each boating journey.
When you switch the motor on without having charged the batteries since the last use
(e.g. when pausing the journey or after a very short journey) the on-board computer
uses the most recently saved charge level and calculates the subsequent charge levels
and range from that point.
If you have partially charged the batteries or do not reset the charge level to 100% af-
ter fully charging, the on-board computer calculates remaining charge level and range
as if the charging did not occur, underestimating the power remaining.
2. At the beginning of each season the on-board computer has to be calibrated in order
to take into account the aging of the battery bank. To do so use the fully charged
battery bank on your boat and deplete it following the instructions below.
1. Fully charge the batteries.
2. Enter the information that the batteries are fully charged into the system as descri-
bed above by pushing the “cal” button twice.
3. Deplete the battery down to a voltage level of 21.7 V (Cruise 2.0) or 43.4 V respec-
tively (Cruise 4.0).
• During depletion of the battery, the motor may be stopped but not switched off.
• During the last half hour of the depletion, the input power of the motor must
range between 50 and 400 watts.
• After reaching the voltage level mentioned above, the motor will switch off
automatically. The information system has measured the aging of the battery and
the calibration is complete.
Please be aware: if you try to do the entire depletion on low power while the boat is tied
up in port, this may – depending on the size of your battery bank – take more than a day.
It should be easier to go through the final phase of a calibration run after a trip, when the
batteries are already partially depleted.
If you would like to monitor the voltage level of the battery during the calibration, you
can use the multifunctional display of the remote throttle as a voltage indicator.
