Range Extension options Torqeedo 1003 and Ultralight

[updated to include latest battery info] I’m often asked about range extension for a 1003, and occasionally for an Ultralight. Of course it would be great if we could connect these motors to the large Torqeedo battery—the 26-104. Alas, the voltage is different and it does not have a GPS…
