Maintenance Tips

• Storage Recommendations: When storing the batteries for extended periods, especially over winter (up to six months), disconnect them and maintain a charge level of approximately 50%. Check the charge every eight weeks and recharge to 50% if it has declined.

• Regular Usage: If the batteries are used regularly, ensure they are not consistently discharged to their maximum depth. Aim to keep the discharge depth to around 80% to prolong battery life.

• Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing the batteries to high temperatures, as prolonged heat exposure can accelerate capacity loss. After use, store the batteries in a cool, shaded area.

• Charging Practices: Use only Torqeedo-approved chargers designed for the Power 48-5000 model. For faster charging, up to three chargers can be connected in parallel, allowing for a full charge in approximately 3.5 hours.

• Maintenance of Battery Health: Be mindful of the battery's cycle life. The Power 48-5000 is designed for over 3,000 cycles with an 80% discharge depth at 25°C, resulting in a capacity loss of approximately 20%.

• Professional Servicing: Eight years after the manufacturing date, have the batteries inspected at a Torqeedo Service Centre to ensure they remain in optimal condition.
