Charging The Batteries From The Mains - Torqeedo Travel 503 S Bedienungsanleitung

The batteries in models 503 and 1003 have different capacities. Both motors can be opera-
ted however with both batteries.
The lithium-manganese 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 power taken from the battery. If the charging power is higher then the
power consumed by the motor the display indicates apower consumption of zero watts.

7.4.2 Charging the batteries from the mains

• Except when charging the charging socket must always be locked. To
do so please use the flap provided.
• Do not cover charger or battery while charging.
The battery's charge-socket is marked with a plug. Connect the
charger with the battery's charge socket and with the mains.
During the charge process an LED in the battery indicates whether
the battery is charging (LED blinking) or if it is fully charged (LED
on). For more detailed information about the charge status, you can
connect the tiller to the battery during the charging process. In this
case the tiller display shows the "Charging" function and the charge
level in percent.
