How can I tell if my solar panels are working?

Depending on your usage, and the size of your solar panels, it may be
difficult to monitor the incoming charge.
The electrical systems in your vehicle likely draw more power than the solar
panels generate, therefore solar power is not as efficient in charging the
Volta System as connecting to shore power or the secondary alternator.
Solar power is better used as a way to increase the time between charges.
In ideal conditions, some incremental charging can be experienced, but you
shouldn't rely on your system's solar panels to charge your Volta system. If
you have access to the LEDs on the solar controller, refer to Charging via
Solar Power on page 17 for details on the LEDs.

Why can't I connect my phone to my Volta System?

To connect your phone to the Volta System to monitor performance data,
runtime remaining, charge status, pack temperature, and other system
data, you must have the Bluetooth Module installed in your vehicle and have
the MyVolta app installed on your phone.
Your RV's OEM may have installed a Bluetooth module. If so, simply down-
load the MyVolta app to your phone, then follow the instructions in the app
to pair to the Bluetooth module.
If your RV is not equipped with the Bluetooth module, it is available for
purchase from www.VoltaPowerSystems.com. Refer to Installing MyVolta
Bluetooth Module on page 36 for further instructions.
To determine if you currently have the Bluetooth module installed:
–
Check with your OEM or consult any OEM documentation provided
with your RV.
–
Attempt to connect the MyVolta app.
–
Check behind the SOC gauge or Touchscreen to see if the Blue-
tooth module is connected.

How do I recover my Volta System if it reaches 0% SOC?

The Battery Management System in your Energy Storage Pack is pro-
grammed to prevent the lithium-ion cells from reaching potentially
harmful low-voltage thresholds. If the Volta System is discharged to the
programmed threshold (approximately 0% SOC), the Volta System shuts
down. In this state, electrical systems are disabled.
To recover from this shutdown, the Volta System will only restart if a charge
source is connected. To perform the system recovery, refer to How to Reset
from System Empty Fault on page 19.
