Page 14: Connecting The Basetravel 401 To Lead Batteries (Acid, Gel, Agm)
We recommend that you achieve the required battery capacity in Wh using as few parallel connections as possible with as few batteries as possible. So, to create a battery capacity of for instance 2,400 Wh (at twelve volts), it is better to use one 12 V / 200 Ah battery instead of two parallel connected 12 V / 100 Ah batteries. - Page 15 8. Starting up To increase the capacity of your battery pack, you can configure several 12 V batteries of the same kind in parallel. To do this, connect all the positive poles together of the batteries to be configured and all the negative poles together. Configuring two batteries in parallel doubles the battery capacity [Wh] and the charge [Ah].

8.4 Connecting the BaseTravel 801 to lead batteries (acid, gel, AGM) The BaseTravel 801 operates with a power supply of between 20 V and .6 V. That means it can be operated with two serially configured 12 V lead-acid, lead-gel or AGM batteries. To increase the capacity, you can configure several pairs of serially connected 12 V batteries parallel to each other. -
Page 17: Connecting The Basetravel 801 To A Torqeedo Power 26-77 Lithium-Manganese Battery
To increase the capacity, you can configure several Torqeedo Power batteries parallel to each other. To connect the BaseTravel 801 to a Torqeedo Power 26-77 battery, connect the negative terminal of the battery adapter cable set (identified by the label) to the negative pole of the battery. -

The battery adapter that can be removed from the shaft functions as the main battery switch of your drive. Additionally, the Torqeedo Power battery features an integrated electronic master switch as well as a residual capacity display. - Page 19 8. Starting up . To adjust the shaft length, open both wing nuts on the transom bracket and fit the shaft length to your boat so that the propeller has the required submergence depth. Note that the submergence depth has a major influence on the efficiency of your drive. To optimize the submergence depth, please read the operating instructions in section 9.5.

Page 22: Pylon
9.3 Pylon The motor and the electronic control system are located in the pylon. They generate the propulsion. In addition, several protective functions are integrated: 1. Temperature protection: If the motor overheats, the motor control system reduces the output of the drive until a temperature equilibrium is established between generated and disposed heat. -
Page 23: Battery Adapter Cable Set Including Fuse
The master switch of the BaseTravel is integrated in the positive connection terminal of the cable set. This is a CF8 50 A fuse which you can obtain from your specialist dealer or from Torqeedo Customer Services. The removable battery adapter functions as the master switch of the BaseTravel. -
Page 24: Optimum Submergence Depth And Travel Behaviour
The submergence depth of the propeller in the water has a major impact on the efficiency of your drive. When measured by Torqeedo, depending on the submergence of the propeller, variations in the total efficiency of up to 10 percentage points, up to 20 percent for distance and up to 5 percent for maximum speed were found. -
