The battery supplied with this product battery exceeds this threshold
and is therefore prohibited from being carried on passenger aircraft
either as carry-on baggage or cargo.
- The battery charger included in the scope of supply is not waterproof;
it must therefore be protected against splash water during charging.
5.4.4 Charging the batteries from the on-board batteries
It is possible to charge the battery from any DC voltage source
within a range of 9.5V ... 50V.
The required minimum current is 4A.
For charging please use a wire cross-section of at least 0.5 mm
2
.
The dimensions of the required barrel connector are 5.5/2.5 mm.
For example, it is a good idea to use the 12-V battery charger lead
made by Torqeedo. Pay attention to the polarity - see diagram.
