Battery charging time:
From empty to full, the time ranges from 9 hours for a 320 Wh battery to 15 hours for a 520 Wh battery.
Estimated battery life:
In general, an annual loss of around 4% can be expected. Aging is accelerated if the battery is exposed to high temperatures for a long time and if it is stored fully charged for a long time. It can be used in very hot weather, but when not in use it should be removed from the sun and stored in a cool place, at room temperature. If stored for a long time, the state of charge should be around 70%. By following these instructions, the battery will last around 6-10 years.
Charging the Travel battery from solar and on-board sources:
The battery can be solar charged even while the engine is running. It comes with a connector that is compatible with the PowerFilm solar charger or solar chargers with a voltage of 24 - 60 V and a current of max. 4 Amp. To charge the battery from the on-board source, you will need an inverter that converts the voltage from the source to 100 - 240 V. Highly efficient inverters can be found on the market at very affordable prices.
