Volta Pure3 Power System Issues in my Winnebago Travato 59kl - Update #2

Where do I start? Bottom line: if I could go back in time, I would not buy a Winnebago Travato 59kl! I scheduled an appointment at Poulsbo RV for the third time, and drove my Travato 115 miles to Kent, Washington to get the Volta Pure3 Power System Issues fixed once and for all. The good news is that Volta agreed to cover the expense under warranty because I had reported the problem to them within the 3-year warranty. As it turned out, the reason that the battery pack would not stay warm enough for charging in freezing weather was that one of the two heating pads had failed. This faulty pad also caused a ground fault, which tripped the single GFCI outlet that serves the entire daisy chain of outlets in the van rendering all 120vac outlets dead. And the heating pads are plugged into a standard 120vac outlet that is hidden somewhere inside of the passenger bed box. Totally irrational engineering! Back home with my Travato, I performed several camping scenario tests, including connected and disconnected to shore power in both below freezing and 50°F temperatures. During these tests, I discovered that the Volta Pure3 system does not automatically shut down when the state of charge (SOC) reaches 10%. Instead, the batteries continue to drain down to 0% at which time the power shuts off and the system goes to sleep. Simply plugging into shore power did not initiate battery charge mode. Driving the Travato for about 30 minutes did wake up the Volta system, likely from some charging by the 2nd alternator. Once the Volta system was awake (red LED display at 0% SOC), connecting to shore did initiate the charging mode, and in about 5-6 hours the lithium batteries were charged to about 97%. But the interior of the coach was permeated with a hot, putrid electrical burning smell and the power pack temperature reached a high of 80°F! Thus, I have scheduled another trip to Poulsbo RV, and I expect that Volta will again honor their warranty.
