This is what my charger for a Torqeedo 1003 has written on the back:
EDac EDACPOWER ELEC.
AC ADAPTER
MODEL EA10522D-120
AC INPUT 100-240V ~ 1.8A, 50-60Hz
DC OUTPUT 12V – 4.16A
FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
I.T.E USE ONLY
UL LISTED I.T.E. POWER SUPPLY, (plus more certifications)
MADE IN CHINA
(Note: I.T.E. = information technology equipment. Basically refers to a set of safety and other standards for a class of devices.)

Assuming you are correct about the charger supplying 12 volts DC then there must be a DC/DC converter built into the lithium battery pack to boost the 12 volts DC to 30+ volts DC. Why Torqeedo would think this is a better idea than using an AC/DC converter with an output of 40 volts DC re the charger that came with the 801 escapes me. Also you still need an inverter if you want to use 12 volt boat battery with the charger.
