NEW Torqeedo Ultralight 915wh Battery!

On page 25 of the 2017 Torqeedo Catalog (http://media.torqeedo.com/catalogs/torq ... 017-en.pdf) there is a new spare battery listed for the Ultralight series in addition to the standard battery. Here are the part numbers

Standard: Part no. 1416-00 (320Wh)
Larger Spare: Part no. 1417-00 (915 Wh) NEW

There are no additional details to be found elsewhere on the site. But the part number is different from the 915wh battery from the Travel 503/1003 series and hopefully is similar in format to the new Ultralight batteries (molded in carry handle and all connections on top and same side). This would be great - a clean format 915wh battery instead of using the longer Travel series battery with the unneccessary and unused pointy connection horns sticking out.

Here are some additional details from the helpful folks at Torqeedo:

This will be in the same form factor as the new USB Ultralight battery 1416-00, except more lithium cells packed into case will make it 4 lbs heavier. So weight of 11 lbs or so, dims 10 x10 x 6. Retail price $899.

Will look like this one but 915W power:

I would recommend the 90W charger 1133-00.

This should be available in US Spring 2017, my guess is by mid-March but I do not have that confirmed.
