•
If High Temperature Limit is reached, the
pack must cool to 43°C/109°F before
charging will resume.
•
If Low Temperature Limit is reached, the pack
must heat to 6°C/43°F before charging will
resume.
•
The SOC gauge will turn blue in 5 second
intervals when the storage pack is too cold to
charge.
•
The SOC gauge will turn yellow in 5 second
intervals when the storage pack is too hot to
charge.
Storage
As with any storage system, like batteries, fuel
or water tank, preparations should be made to
protect the life and performance of the Pure
3
power system when not in use.
•
Charge the Pure
3
energy storage system to
greater than 80% SOC as indicated on the
SOC gauge in the vehicle.
•
Turn OFF all vehicle electrical features
powered by the Pure
3
system. This includes
DC and AC electrical features in the vehicle as
well as the inverter/charger by their control
switch or display.
•
With the vehicle engine off and the shoreline
unplugged, press the Pure
3
energy storage
pack ON/OFF button. When you turn the
button off, the green light on the button may
stay on for a period of time while the system
shuts down all components. This can last up to
a couple minutes. The gauge may blink blue
momentarily during this time. You will know
the pack is properly shut down when the lights
on the button and gauge are completely off. At
this time power should no longer be available
from the system. The Pure
3
energy storage
pack is now deactivated and the power
distribution devices are off.
NOTICE
During long-term storage, Volta
recommends the energy storage pack be
turned on every 3 months. to ensure the
Volta energy storage pack maintains a
charge above 49.7 volts as read from the
Volta inverter/charger display.
NOTICE
Long term storage without maintaining
the correct voltage will reduce the life of
the pack and possibly destroy the pack
permanently.
NOTICE
Improper storage is not covered under
warranty.
NOTICE
Overnight temperatures can go to as low
as -40°C/-40°F during storage as long as
the average temperature for any 3 month
time period does not exceed the
temperature range of -4°C/25°F to 45°C/
113°F.
