STORING VEHICLES WITH A VOLTA SYSTEM
Warning:
Do not store the Volta System at low State-of-Charge� The
system is designed with a limited energy reserve, in case the system is
left on and the low voltage shutdown occurs� This reserve may last for
three months until irreversible damage could occur� Neglecting system
maintenance and allowing the Flex Pack to come to this state will result
in voiding the warranty�
Warning:
Failure to turn off the Volta System before storing your vehicle
long term (greater than 3 months) will cause the Flex Pack(s) charge to
deplete faster, even if all loads on the system are removed, which can
cause permanent damage to the Flex Pack�
Storage methods vary by customer and environment� Refer to the following
strategies for short-term or long-term storage� Also,
refer to Flex Pack Pro-
grammed Operating Limits on page 26
for safe storage temperatures�
Long Term Storage (Greater than 3 Months)
Preparations should be made to protect the life and performance of the Flex
Pack when not in use� When leaving the vehicle in storage, turn off the Volta
System by pressing the On/Off pushbutton�
To prepare for long-term storage:
1. Charge the Flex Pack to greater than 70% SOC as indicated on the
touchscreen�
2.
Press the On/Off pushbutton and verify that the pushbutton LED and
touchscreen turn off, indicating the Volta System is off�
3.
Turn on the Volta System every three months to verify the pack is main-
taining a high State-of-Charge (SOC). If necessary, charge the system to
above 70% SOC before storing the vehicle again.
Short Term Storage (Less than 3 Months)
If the vehicle is frequently used, keep the system in Charge Only Mode and
connected to shore power for convenient operation�
Refer to Charge Only Mode
on page 13.
To place the system in Charge Only Mode for short-term storage:
1.
Press the On/Off pushbutton to turn on the system�
2.
Ensure the appropriate charge rate is selected�
Refer to Inverter Screen
on page 19 for details on changing the charge rate selection.
3.
Press the On/Off pushbutton to turn off the system� Verify that the
pushbutton LED and touchscreen turn off, indicating that the Volta
System is off�
4.
Connect the vehicle to shore power�
While in Charge Only Mode, the Volta System turns on, charges as needed, and
maintains an operational state� For example, in cold climates, while in Charge
