Dear customer,
We are delighted that you have chosen our battery concept. The Fast Charger 1700 W cor-
responds to the most recent state of the art.
The fast charger is characterized by fully automatic charging technology with automatic
restart function, shows possible connection problems to the battery, and different LEDs
provide information about operating and charging condition. In case of excessively high
temperatures, automated charge current reduction prevents overheating of the device. It is
short-circuit and reverse polarity safe, convection cooled and waterproof according to IP65.

customer-friendly battery management system available on the market today.

4. Putting the fast charger into operation and charging Power 26-104
4.1 Connecting the fast charger to the battery
• Only charge the battery when it is standing on a non-flammable
surface, and under supervision of a responsible adult.
• Only charge the battery at ambient temperatures of between 0°C and
45°C / 32°F and 113°F.
• During charging process protect fast charger and battery from contact
with water.
• Avoid contact between the two ring eyes.
• When connecting the fast charger, ensure the correct polarity.
• Only plug fast charger into wall socket after it has been connected
to the battery.
• The fast charger will heat up during operation.
• Make sure there is adequate ventilation.
• Keep the fast charger away from easily flammable materials.
• It should be noted that, when using a 110 V power supply, the maxi-
mum performance cannot be achieved. The resulting output-current is
only 26 A, instead of 60 A.
• In case you should not succeed in recharging a totally discharged
battery, take battery and fast charger to a Torqeedo service point for
inspection (contact data on the back of this manual).
1. Connect eyelet on the red cable with positive pole and eyelet on black cable with
negative pole.
2. Only then plug the power plug into the wall socket.
3. Now switch on the battery. Charging process now begins automatically. During
charging process, LED will light up red. When charging process will be finished,
LED will light up green.
Depending on the charge state of the battery, charging time will take less than 2 hours.
In case of excess heating of battery or fast charger (for instance due to exposure to the
sun), charging time may extend.

4.2 Disconnecting the fast charger from the battery
First unplug the fast charger from the mains. Then disconnect the connection between
battery and charger.
Charging advice:
In case the fast charger should be disconnected from the battery during charging, charg-
ing will be terminated immediately. In this case, please disconnect the fast charger from
the mains. To start new charging, please follow the steps under 4.1.
4.3 Charging operation with batteries connected in parallel
• Please take in mind the instructions given in the operating manual of
Power 26-104.
Torqeedo recommends use of one charger per battery. However, it is possible to use one
charger for batteries connected in parallel. In this case charging time multiplies with the
number of batteries connected in parallel.
