Hi La vache,
It looks like in your comments, you are looking for some references, here are a couple:
uboat.net
Quote:
G7e T2 Electric 5000m/30kts *
* data for preheated state. Full effectiveness was obtained when the T2 was preheated electrically to 30 degrees Cent (86 F) before firing. Not preheated figures are 28 knots for 3000m.

A peculiar characteristic of the T III was that the batteries had to be pre-heated prior to launch. The T III had a maximum range of 5,000 meters at 30 knots, but the range would be reduced to 1,280 meters if the batteries not been pre-heated. This torpedo was also more fickle, and had to be serviced every three to four days.

Here is another with some specs:

Unfortunately, none of these sites give references for their information.
However, one of my key references in my research was Wright's Master's Thesis,
Wolves Without Teeth. I was in email contact with him for a while, and he said his two most valuable sources were Eberhardt Rossler's
Die Torpedos der Deutschen U-Boote and Heinz Trompelt's
Eine Andere Sicht: Tatsachenbericht eines Torpedo-Obermech. und Fanricht z. S. Gefahren auf U-459 und U-172. They are both in German, and if you can get ahold of them and take a look at them, they might be of interest to us. From what I understand, they are highly technical, and if you are interested in wading through that, they might be of interest to the overall picture of the mod as well.
Viel Glück!
