Quieter and environmentally friendlier these outboards can
do anything a petrol unit can do. The Torqeedo Travel 1003 drives
tenders, dinghies and daysailers up to 1.5 tons effortlessly for up to ten
hours. The tiller display with its integrated GPS receiver constantly
provides a precise overview of how fast you are travelling and the remaining
range. It you have drained your Torqeedo battery recharge it via the
mains or your onboard twelve volt supply. You don't have to move the
entire unit, simply remove the 4kg battery unit and carry it to your power
source. You can also increase your range while on the water by using the
Torqeedo solar charger.
The Torqeedo 1003S remains by far the most popular choice for use with tenders.

Battery charging: From fully discharged, charging with the charger provided takes approximately 9 hours (Travel 503) and 15 hours (Travel 1003).
Lithium battery life expectancy: The life of a
lithium battery is barely affected by charging cycles. It has no memory
effect. Therefore, the battery can be fully recharged after every trip,
regardless of the charge status shown on the display. Generally, a loss
of capacity of 4% per year can be expected. Ageing is accelerated if the
battery is exposed to high temperatures for long periods while fully
charged. The battery can be used in very hot conditions, but we would
recommend that it should be stored in a cool place away from the sun
when not in use. 8 years after date of production, your battery needs to
be inspected by a service center.
Integrated battery specifications: The Travel 503 battery has a capacity of 320 Wh and the Travel 1003 provides 520 Wh.
For the Travel 503, this gives a rating of 11 Ah at 29.6 V and the Travel 1003, 18 Ah at 29.6 V.
Solar charging: The batteries of the Travel 503 and
1003 models can be charged by a solar charger, even when the motor is in
use on the water. The battery is compatible with solar chargers with
voltages between 24 and 60 V and a maximum charging current of up to 4
A. The simplest solution is to charge via our SUN 45 W - Solar panel.
Charging from the on-board power supply: To charge
the battery from an on-board power supply, an inverter is required to
convert the voltage to between 100 and 240 V (standard power outlet
voltages that can vary from country to country). High-efficiency
inverters are available commercially at low cost.
Safety: The motor only runs when the magnetkey is
placed in position on the throttle and stops immediately when the key is
removed. For safety reasons, the magnet key should be attached to the
wrist or the life vest.
Temperature protection: In warmer climates, you may
experience a reduction in power after 15-30 minutes running at full
throttle. This is not a defect, but the integrated temperature
protection mode that ensures that the battery does not reach extreme
temperatures. Temperature protection mode is indicated by a thermometer
in the display.
Limited warranty: 2 years.
