With the thrust force of a 6 HP combustion engine, the Torqeedo Cruise is the emission-free alternative for sailing and motor boats with displacement of up to three tons. Equipped with the latest torque technology, an optimized drive train and an optimized propeller, the Torqeedo Cruise is not only the most efficient but also the most powerful 24-volt outboard available on the market. When using lead batteries within the power range of the Cruise, the efficiency of a drive is important for two reasons. On the one hand, an efficient drive converts the used energy better into propulsive force. A high efficiency of the drive additionally ensures that more battery capacity is available for consumption: The more efficient a drive is, the more it prevents the effectively available battery capacity from being reduced due to unnecessarily high power intake (compare here the Background Knowledge on Calculating the Range of Electric Motors as well as the chapter on Battery Technology). Due to the extraordinary efficiency of the Cruise, it wastes comparably little energy but its input power of 2,000 Watt is challenging to the lead battery supply. To compensate for the high-current characteristics and the loss of capacity of lead batteries concomitant to this, it is recommendable that you purchase lead batteries with comparably „good“ high-current characteristics as well as high rated capacities (ideally 4,800 Wh, i.e. two times 12 V / 200 Ah or higher rated capacities; compare Background Knowledge on Calculating the Range of Electric Motors). Background information on the voltage indicator: The Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 is designed to work with a nominal voltage of 24 volts in the form of two connected-in-series 12-volt batteries. When using new lead-gel batteries, the actual measured voltage depicted in the voltage indicator should range between 27 volts in a loaded state and 20 volts in an almost empty state. The voltage range between full and empty batteries, however, depends greatly on the batteries used. For this reason, the use of the voltage indicator as an indicator of the charge state of the connected batteries requires some getting used to, and is imprecise. If the batteries are not to be included in a more complicated measuring system, however, the voltage indicator remains the best indicator for calculating the remaining residual capacity of the batteries; hence, it is integrated in the Cruise models.
