7. Maintenance and service

• In case the high voltage battery should be mechanically damaged,
please do not use the DEEP BLUE system any more. Get in touch with
Torqeedo Service.
• High voltage components of DEEP BLUE systems are watertight
(battery IP 67, charger IP 67, connection box IP 66 protected).
However avoiding permanent exposure of high voltage components
to water is necessary.
• Always keep high voltage components (batteries, connection box,
charger) of DEEP BLUE system clean and free from dirt.

7.1 Maintenance of mechanical components

• After operation in salt or brackish water, rinse the motor with fresh water.
• Check propeller after every use.
• After every use make sure that no gear oil is leaking.
• Use conventional cleaning agents to clean the DEEP BLUE motor surfaces;
treat plastic surfaces with cockpit spray.

7.2 Maintenance of high voltage lithium batteries

DEEP BLUE batteries are basically protected against total discharge. As batteries are self-
discharging, a harmful total discharge risking to destroying the battery is nevertheless
possible. So please respect the following advice:
• Charge the battery after each use. Ideally, recharge the battery directly
after use. In case of discharge down to less than 20 %, battery must be
recharged within 48 hours.
• If you want to store the battery over a longer period: Fully charge the
battery before storing it. Check battery status once a month.
• Always store the battery at ambient temperatures of between
- 40 °C and + 50 °C (-40 °F and +122 °F).
• We do not recommend a longer storage with enabled charger. In this
case, charger would start every 15 minutes. In case of an error mes-
sage, undesired total discharge may be the consequence.
