5.4.2 General information on batteries
The batteries in models 503, 1003 and 1003C have different capacities. All motors can
be operated however with all batteries but maximum power is limited to 500 W für all
motors
in case a 320 Wh battery is used.
The lithium-ion battery is not sensitive to cycles (one cycle = discharge and recharge).
The cells lose around 20% of their capacity after using 500 times the battery capacity
(i.e. after 500 discharges at 100% depth of discharge or 1,000 discharges at 50% depth
of discharge, etc.). This lifespan indication refers to standard conditions (especially with
temperaturesofaround20°C/68°F).Thebatterydoesnothaveamemoryeffect.
