The perfect motor for tenders, dinghies and daysailers up to 1.5 tons is now even better. Torqeedo Travel outboards combine built-in lithium batteries with world-record efficiency levels. This combination offers high power and range from small volume and light weight. The brand new 503 models offer additional substantial benefits over Travel 401/801 models: • 1.5 hp., 29.6 V (integrated battery) • Weight: Short shaft 28.0 lbs; Long shaft 29.3 lbs. • Integrated GPS and information system provide precise real-time information on battery charge status, remaining range at current speed, speed over ground and power consumption. • GPS receiver is located in the battery; information display is located in the tiller. • Improved mechanical stability, ruggedness and suitability for salt water use. • 20% higher power and approximately 10% higher efficiency, noiseless design. • Corrosion-free design does not require a sacrificial anode. • Auto-kickup feature in case of grounding. • All models can be solar charged during operation. • Audible alarm warns when battery charge status reaches 30%. • Fully waterproof design, IP 67 (all components can be submersed for 1 hour at 3 ft. below surface without any harm. Which Travel motor for your boat? The Travel 503 and Travel 1003 models are both suitable for inflatables, small boats and sail boats. Torqeedo recommends the Travel 503 for sail boats up to a weight of 750 kg, and the Travel 1003 up to a weight of 1.5 tons. Both models consume the same level of energy at the same speed. The stronger Travel 1003 has 30% higher battery capacity and therefore superior range. Both models are available in long and short shaft versions. Integrated Battery Specifications The battery of the Travel 503 motor has a capacity of 300 Wh. The battery is rated 10 Ah @ 29.6 V. Battery Charge Time The Travel 503 battery recharge time from empty to full ranges is about 8 hours. Lithium-manganese battery life expectancy: Charge cycles are not the main factor affecting the service life of the lithium-manganese battery. The battery does not have a memory-effect. Generally, a loss of capacity of 4% per year can be assumed. Ageing is accelerated if the battery is exposed to high temperatures for long periods and if it is stored fully charged for long periods. Therefore, the battery can be used in very hot conditions, but should be removed from the sun and stored in a cool place when not used. If it is stored for a longer period of time, its charge status should be about 50%. If these instructions are followed, your battery will have a life expectancy of some 6-10 years. Charging the Travel battery from solar and from the on-board power supply The battery can be solar charged during use. It comes with a charge connector that accepts the CIGS solar charger #71-1129 or other solar chargers with a voltage between 24 V and 60 V and a charging current of 4 Amps max. To charge the battery from an on-board power supply, you will need an inverter that converts the on-board voltage to a value between 100 and 240 V (standard power outlet voltage, country-specific voltages may vary). The charger provided with the motor connects to the inverter. High-efficiency inverters are available on the market at very affordable prices. Watertightness All motor components are watertight, protected against complete immersion. Safety The motor shuts off when the magnetic key on the remote throttle control is removed. Therefore, for safety reasons, the magnetic key should be attached to the wrist or the life vest.
