For “boondocking” should I get a standard Travato with 12v AGM batteries, upgrade to 12v lithium batteries, or get the “L” with the Volta Pure 3 48v system?
The bottom line is how much time/effort do you want to put into Managing your power; usage and replenishing.
All three battery options allow you to boondock for extended periods of time. Three options: type of batteries: AMG; AMG upgraded with Lithium replacements;
Volta Pure 3 Lithium.
AMG systems require multi-daily eyes on the system to manage the power. A/C requires running the generator (which since 2021 is a “quiet generator”). The batteries generally should only be depleted 50% before recharging or risk damage to the batteries.
12v Lithium upgrades require daily eyes on to manage but can be depleted to almost 100% before recharging. Might provide limited A/C. If the upgrade included installation of a large inverter. Generator running would be required for extended A/C.
Volta needs very little management: if not running the A/C, looking at it every 3 or 4 days. If running the A/C, looking at it once a day.
Enable the Volta Auto-Start, and the Volta system will manage itself as needed.
With the Volta fully charged, you can run the A/C from 5 to 24 hours before needing a recharge, depending on how much time the A/C compressor is on.

Under that bottom line is where you evaluate YOUR personal cost benefit.
Thank you William.
Why does my engine start when I arm my Volta autostart system even though my SOC doesn’t require a start?
What do the red lights mean on the Kisae solar controller on my Volta (Pure 3) equipped Travato?

Group Member Joel Bean tells us this:
“Findings about Kisae controller. Although the manual discusses the status lights on the Kisae, you will only see two states.
ON and charging (solid green on bottom, flashing amber on top) and/or
OFF (both solid red).
Ignore the information about Constant Current, Constant Charge, and Constant Float. The Kisae does not control/monitor the state of the battery. Battery management for the Volta system does this and simply turns the Kisae on and off. Also, be advised that, although there is function in the Kisae to control charging from an alternator, these connection terminals are not used. This is also controlled by Volta battery management. I hope this addresses some confusion about the use of the Kisae controller. You will always see double red lights until the battery is below about 90%. One exception. If the Kisae starts charging the battery, it will continue until full. Once full, it will shut off, all red, and not resume unless the battery dips to below 90 or 91%, when Volta battery management turns it on again.”
Also note: The lights turn off completely at night (when there is no solar energy on the solar panels at all).
