10. Storage and care instructions

10.1 Corrosion protection

• Only store the battery in a dry condition.
• Once a month, treat the contacts on the contact panel with contact spray.

10.2 Battery care

You will prolong the life of your battery if you do not expose it to a very hot environment.
When you store the battery over an extended period (e.g. over the winter), charge it to
about 100% and store it at -20°C to +15°C to ensure a long battery life and avoid deep-
discharge. Leaving your battery permanently connected to the power supply unit does not
solve the problem of deep-discharge, since the battery cancels the charging process once
it is fully charged in order to prevent over charging. It is only possible to re-charge the
battery by reconnecting it to the charging socket.

10.3 Other care instructions

To clean the battery you can use all cleaning agents suitable for plastic - follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
• Repairs may only be carried out by authorized Torqeedo Service Centers.
Should you attempt to carry out repairs or conversions yourself, this
immediately cancels the warranty.
• If you wish to make a warranty claim, please follow the instructions for
submitting warranty claims in the instruction manual of your motor

11. Disposal instructions

in accordance with EU Directive 2002/96. This directive regulates the
disposal of electrical and electronic devices for the protection of the
