The power adapter supplied with the Travel motor fits to the battery controller and
charges the Travel battery in approx. 10 hours. When charging in high ambient
temperatures (>35°C), it could take longer, as the control system is fitted with a tempera-
ture-dependent current regulator. This ensures gentle charging of the cells. Connect the
charger and the battery to the mains for charging.
• When mounted, the battery is protected against rain and spray water.
• Only use the Travel 401 battery with the Torqeedo Travel 401 outboard

How compatible are the motors 400/401 and 800/801?
Models 401 and 801 (400 and 800) are not 100% compatible. If the wrong
battery is fitted, the motor will not run, but neither will anything become
broken. A model 801 battery can also be used on the motors 401 and 800.
