Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries

The Volta system is based on a 48V battery pack, which makes a lot of sense. The DC to DC converter can support 150A of service. The alternator has more output than the 50DN most of us have and only pulls 7HP.

Changing to the Volta system can make sense for some that want more run time, want to use air conditioning at night during generator quiet time or select other cases. The battery pack can supply 30,000 watts and more than one can be installed.

The real value comes with new conversions. A single 48V bus air system is just one example of a change that really makes sense. The 2015 emission standards also drive the need for this kind of system. Generators with more than 10-12KW output will have to meet very similar requirements that 2015 drive engines have to meet.
