Torqeedo's Description
NEW LITHIUM BATTERY SETS NEW STANDARDS IN PERFORMANCE,
SAFETY AND VALUE
Lithium batteries are the technology of choice when it comes to providing more energy from smaller, lighter battery banks. Now the leader in electric outboards, Torqeedo, sets new standards with its innovative Power 26-104 lithium manganese battery.
Delivering 2,685 watt-hours from a weight of only 44 lbs., the new Power 26-104 features four times the energy per pound of battery weight compared to conventional lead-gel or AGM batteries. It outperforms other lithium batteries on the market.
The integrated battery management system (BMS) is in a class of its own. In addition to typical functions of a BMS, like cell balancing, the new Torqeedo BMS protects the battery against overcharge, overvoltage, overheating, deep discharge, wrong polarity and other potential causes of damage or danger.
Torqeedo Power 26-104 is uncompromisingly designed for marine use. It is waterproof to IP 67 standards, so it can be completely submersed at 3ft for 30 minutes and still function properly. It will also shut itself down if submersed longer to avoid dangerous galvanic effects. Superior safety aspects of the new battery encompass proven and secure battery chemistry, advanced safety electronics, as well as unique hardware protection of each individual battery-cell.
Torqeedos new Power 26-104 lithium battery retails for $2,499. When weighed against the capacity of the battery, this represents a price of $0.93 per watt-hour, making it an extremely economical offer when compared to other lithium batteries on the market.
