Charging via the Secondary Alternator
A Volta secondary alternator powers the vehicle’s electrical features while
simultaneously charging the Flex Pack, if the vehicle is being driven and is
maintaining a high enough RPM�
If the engine does not sustain a high enough RPM, the BMS sends a signal to
turn off the alternator until the BMS determines it is appropriate to turn on the
alternator�
Charging via Solar Power
Your vehicle may be equipped with solar panels that supply additional energy to
the Flex Pack when there is sufficient sunlight�
The solar controller is rated for a continuous 500 watt load and a max load of
600 watts. Therefore, an additional port on the roof may be available to add an
additional solar panel�
The secondary alternator or a shore power connection are more effective in
charging the Flex Pack than solar power� The solar charging system is primarily
used to increase the time needed between Flex Pack charges�
Solar Controller LED Indicators
Depending on the location of the solar controller, you may be able to
monitor the status LEDs� The solar controller has two LEDs that indicate the
solar charging status� The following represent the typical LED indicator
combinations:
If both lights are red, it indicates the system is not charging� This can be
caused by the following:
• The Flex Pack is fully charged�
• The Flex Pack is too cold to charge�
•
The solar controller’s internal temperate is too high�
• Insufficient sunlight to charge the Flex Pack or the panels are dirty�
