September 7, 20232 yr Hi, Has anyone had a VOLTA battery for installed with a hybrid solar system? and how are they performing?
September 21, 20232 yr Volta is just a SA spec'd rebrand of this Chinese system builder ... https://www.genixenergy.com/power-storage-wall/5KWH-ES-BOX12-51.2V-Wall-Mounted-LiFePO4-Battery.html Volta refuses to disclose the BMS they use inside their batteries Volta refuses to disclose the cells they use ... It could be cheap 2nd life cells inside, sold as new. Who would know ? Volta does not want to allow me to monitor the individual cell voltages or temps inside the battery on a dashboard like Home Automation ... Volta does not provide a LCD screen on their batteries to show SOC, individual cell voltages, temperature, etc ... Volta does not provide a DC cut-off switch on their batteries Volta include cheap tin-coated (not 100% copper) DC battery cables with their batteries

September 26, 20232 yr Thanks ! Pretty sure this must be the BMS then here , https://www.cleverbms.com/list_15/82.html I think yes also. I've got the manual from Junlee, compared to Volta, Taico or that one - they are identical. Volta has the most detailed manual for the communication so far. Still I wish it would help 😄
January 3, 20242 yr I have been using Volta i my solar installation using a Luxpower Inverter for almost a year now and have found Volta and Luxpower to be perfectly reliable. No issues whatsoever.
August 6, 2025Aug 6 hi Volta user group. Just swapped a small saw-bench for a Volta 'basic' 100 Ah LiFepo4 battery, about 4 years old, lightly used, has Going to use it as a separate , 2nd, PV panel charged system in our baby ALINER- Question is, are the small charge controllers that are stated as LiFePO4 OK?? os safer to go Victron etc. Guessing it is about maxing at 13.8 V, not 14.4. re the small, blue 20 & 30 A AGM batt charge controllers, $15--$25 used a lot over the years, found them excellent..
