Travel 1003 with integrated battery (29.6 V / 18 Ah)

Inflatable, dinghy, sailboat or daysailer up to 1.5 tons

Which Travel motor for which boat?

The Travel 503 and 1003 models are both suitable for inflatables, small boats and sail boats. We recommend the Travel 503 for sail boats up to a weight of 1,654 lbs, 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 60% higher battery capacity and therefore superior range. Both models are available in long and short shaft versions.

Details Travel 503/1003

Battery charge time: The battery recharge time from empty to full ranges between some 9 hours (Travel 503) and 15 hours (Travel 1003).

Lithium batterylife expectancy: Charge cycles are not the main factor affecting the service life of the lithium-manganese battery. The battery does not have a memoryeffect. Generally, a loss of capacity of 4% per year can be assumed. Aging 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 6-10 years.

Integrated battery specifications: The batteries of the Travel motors have a capacity of 320 Wh (Travel 503) and 520 Wh (Travel 1003). The batteries

The battery can be solar charged also while using the motor. It comes with a charge connector that accepts the PowerFilm solar charger on page 20 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 onboard 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, countryspecific voltages may vary). 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.

Temperature protection: Operators in warm weather climates may experience the motor reducing power after running for 15-30 minutes at full throttle. Please note that this is not a defect, but the temperature protection mode to ensure that your battery does not reach extreme temperatures. A thermometer will be indicated during temperature protection mode in your display.

* Torqeedo static thrust measurement is based on globally valid ISO standards. Static thrust figures for conventional trolling motors are measured digressively, which results in higher values. In order to compare Torqeedo static thrust data with conventional trolling motors, add approximately 50% to the Torqeedo static thrust values.
