The Eleven Energy Volta 235mm Battery-Battery Parallel Cable Set is the short power link for connecting two Volta 4.5 kWh sodium-ion battery packs in parallel. At 235 mm long, it is made for packs sitting close together, either side by side or stacked, so the battery bank stays compact and tidy.
Paralleling Volta packs lets the system grow in capacity: up to eight packs can be connected for 33.12 kWh of usable capacity, with each pack identified by its own DIP switch setting. These short cables are the right choice where packs are adjacent; they are not for packs housed in separate enclosures.

Safety: Power off the inverter and every battery before connecting. Never connect or disconnect battery cables while the inverter is operating. Do not connect Volta packs in series; they must be paralleled only. Observe correct polarity, and fit an earth bond between all batteries and the inverter. Installation must be carried out by a qualified, UK-registered electrician in accordance with BS 7671 (18th Edition).
Same state of charge: When connecting two or more batteries, all packs must be at the same State of Charge (SoC). Each pack must also be given a unique DIP switch setting (single pack: all OFF).
Stacking: Eleven Energy states that battery packs must not be stacked directly on top of each other, and supplies a stacking kit with each pack. Use the stacking kit as shown in the installation manual when arranging packs for these short cables.
Power links only: This listing covers the power cables. Parallel packs also share a communication data link between the RS485-2 ports; confirm the data cable you need separately.
Compatibility: For use with Eleven Energy Volta sodium-ion batteries only. The manufacturer states its battery packs must not be connected to any other brand of inverter or battery pack.
Key features
Short 235 mm links
Compact 235 mm cables keep adjacent packs connected without excess cable to manage.
Side by side or stacked
Suitable for packs arranged horizontally or vertically, within the manufacturer's stacking guidance.
Built for Volta
Made for the Eleven Energy Volta sodium-ion pack, the approved way to link two packs in parallel.
Scalable capacity
Add packs to reach up to eight in parallel and 33.12 kWh of usable capacity.
Cold-tolerant system
Volta packs charge from -20°C to 55°C, suiting garages, utility rooms and outbuildings.
Locking connectors
Volta power terminals use locking connectors; make sure each one is fully clicked into place.

Frequently asked questions
What is this cable set for?
It links two Volta sodium-ion battery packs in parallel using short 235 mm power cables, for packs installed close together.
How many Volta packs can I parallel?
Up to eight packs can be connected in parallel, giving 33.12 kWh of usable capacity. Packs must never be connected in series.
Can I use it for packs in separate enclosures?
No. These are the short cables for adjacent packs. Packs housed in separate enclosures need longer parallel cables.
Do the batteries need to match before connecting?
Yes. When connecting two or more batteries, all packs must have the same State of Charge, and each pack needs its own DIP switch setting.
Can I mix Volta packs with other battery brands?
No. Eleven Energy states its battery packs must not be connected to other brands of inverter or battery pack.
Does it include the communication cable?
This listing is for the power cables. Parallel packs also communicate through their RS485-2 ports, so confirm the data cable you need separately.
