The MyVolta app is free to download on iPhone from
the app store and other devices from the Google Play
store� Search your device’s app store for MyVolta or
click on one of the icons below� Follow the on screen
instructions to connect to your Volta System:
MyVolta Cloud
MyVolta Cloud allows you to connect and view the
MyVolta app information from virtually anywhere�
Using MyVolta Cloud requires two internet-connected
devices, one of which must remain in the touring coach
within range of the Volta Bluetooth Module�
Both devices must have the MyVolta app downloaded,
be signed into the same Volta account and have
consistent internet access through data, campground
WIFI, router, etc�
The synced device will send system information to
the MyVolta Cloud, allowing the second, unconnected
device to access system data anywhere it can connect
to the internet�
Battery Charge
System Runtime
The system allows for approximately 8-10 hours of
air conditioning while operating on battery power�
However, the time it takes to deplete the house battery
from a full charge depends entirely on usage that could
significantly affect runtime. Because usage varies so
greatly due to various user and environmental factors,
the best way to ensure enough battery power remains
is to monitor the State-of-Charge (SOC); see Home
Screen on page 5-15�
The approximate run time is displayed on the Volta
Home screen as Time Remaining� This value changes
based on system load; see Home Screen on page
5-15
You can roughly calculate an approximate runtime�
If your power flow indicator on the Volta panel is
reading 1000W, then based on the battery capacity of
12 kilowatt-hours, you can approximate 12 hours of
runtime remaining�
With the large capacity battery and the ability to
charge it simply by driving, your runtime can easily be
extended; see Charging via Secondary Alternator on
page 5-18�
The two most significant loads on the battery are
heating and cooling� The more these systems run, the
more energy consumption�
If the inverter use is extensive, the house battery will
deplete much quicker� Even when not using 120 VAC
power, the inverter will draw a small amount of power
if left on� Turn the inverter off if you are not using
outlets or running air conditioning/heating to conserve
battery power� Consider reducing the temperature on
the thermostat when using the heater and increasing
the temperature on the thermostat when using the
air conditioner� If you plan on staying longer without
access to a charge, you will want to conserve your
battery power by using as few lights and appliances as
possible�
Charging via Shoreline Connection
Begin by plugging the Smartplug Cordset (shoreline
power cord) into an external shoreline power supply
(city power)� Check that the cordset LED indicator light
is blue and plug the other end into the coach’s roadside
SmartPlug inlet; see SmartPlug Cordset on page 6-8 �
The Volta Power System defaults to a 15A charge
rate and may need to be changed based on your
connection� For more information about setting the
charge rate on the Volta touchscreen; see Inverter/
Charger Screen on page 5-16�
When plugged into shore power, the Volta Power
System Flex Pack samples incoming power for a few
seconds to ensure uniformity requirements are met�
If incoming power meets the requirements, the Volta
System begins charging the Flex Pack battery (house
battery)� If the Volta System is on when establishing
a shoreline connection, the Battery Power On/Off
Pushbutton (battery disconnect) LED will remain
solid green� If the System is off when establishing a
shoreline connection, the Pushbutton LED will flash
green� For more information, see Pushbutton LED
Flash Codes on page 5-14 �
If the Flex Pack does not begin to charge, the
incoming power is likely not meeting the Volta System
requirements� This feature protects the vehicle from
brown outs due to insufficient power. Additionally, the
system may not accept a charge if plugged into an
electronic surge protector; see Reasons the System
will not Charge on page 5-18�
