• Only charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 0° and 45°C.

Important operating instructions
Here are the most important instructions on operating Torqeedo replacement batteries.
Apart from these instructions, please observe the complete operating instructions to
prevent damage to your battery.
• Before the battery is used for the first time it must be fully charged in order for the
charging status indicator to be correctly calibrated.
• When mounted, the battery is protected against rain and spray water. Do not submerge
it, and keep the contacts as well as the charger port dry. If water enters the battery via
the contacts or the charger port, this can cause irreparable battery damage. If liquid has
entered the battery, first drain off the liquid through the battery case openings. Then dry
the battery in a dry, warm environment up to 50°C before you use it again or before you
press the „Battery charge" button.
• Occasionally use contact spray to care for the contacts on the battery. If you use the
motor in salt or brackish water, we recommend applying contact spray once a month.
• You will prolong the life of your battery if you do not expose it to a very hot environ-
ment. If the battery is to be stored away for a long period (e.g. over the winter months),
it should be fully charged and kept at a temperature of between -20°C and +15°C.
• Always store the battery dry in the drybag.
• If the battery malfunctions (all LEDs flash), remove the battery from the shaft head. Wait
until the LEDs go out (approx. 3 seconds) and press the „Battery charge" button. This
features an integrated reset function and can correct smaller faults itself.
• Should you have any problems with your battery, please follow the instructions for sub-
mitting warranty claims in the instruction manual of your Travel or BaseTravel motor.
