Power down the BatteryPlus35.
Replace the battery.
Repower the BatteryPlus35 via the OdysseyControl.
Click on the Settings Menu icon ⚙️.

Controlling Loads with the OdysseyControl

Controlling loads is simple, activated by a button press. A light grey icon indicates a load is on, while dark grey indicates it is off. The following scenarios describe situations where a load may be unusable:

Low Battery Voltage

If the caravan's battery voltage drops to low levels, the BatteryPlus35 will automatically enter ECO Mode, stopping power to all caravan loads connected to the BatteryPlus35 load terminal block (except terminal 1). In ECO Mode, load control from the OdysseyControl is disabled, though battery capacity and consumption can still be monitored. If the voltage drops further, the BatteryPlus35 enters Storage Mode, disconnecting power to the OdysseyLink and disabling Bluetooth communication. Battery capacity and consumption monitoring will cease. This is to conserve remaining battery power until it can be recharged.

User Enabled ECO Mode

Control of caravan loads from the OdysseyControl is unavailable if ECO Mode is enabled via the Odyssey App. To regain control, turn ECO Mode off.

User Enabled Storage Mode

Control of caravan loads from the OdysseyControl is unavailable if the Remote Switch connected to the BatteryPlus35 is activated to enter Storage Mode. To regain control, switch the Remote Switch off.

Customise View

The 'Customise View' option within the Settings menu allows you to modify the appearance of the Odyssey App based on your RV accessories. You can use this feature to disable functions not present on your RV, such as slides or specific water tanks.

Load Control Troubleshooting

I think one of my loads is not receiving power?

The load may be faulty, causing its electronic load fuse to activate and turn the load off. If this is the case, the LED Status Indicator on the BatteryPlus35 will flash solid red. Please disconnect the faulty load from the BatteryPlus35.

None of my loads appear to be powered and I can't use the OdysseyControl to power the loads on again?

In this situation, the OdysseyControl will display a pop-up message to help diagnose why loads are not powered. Common causes include:

Eco Mode is Switched On: This message appears if the battery button on the OdysseyControl was selected. The battery icon will be light grey. Press the battery button again to restore power and control of loads.
Low Voltage Mode is Switched On: This message appears if the BatteryPlus35 has entered the first stage of low voltage disconnect (ECO Mode). All icons will be dark grey. The Pairing Status Icon will indicate pairing status. Connect the BatteryPlus35 to a power source and begin battery charging.
No Bluetooth Connection: All icons will be dark grey. The Pairing Status Icon will indicate that the OdysseyControl is not paired to the OdysseyLink. This message may appear if:
- The switch connected to the BatteryPlus35 Remote Switch input is activated (deactivate the switch).
- The BatteryPlus35 has entered the second stage of low voltage disconnect (Storage Mode). Connect the BatteryPlus35 to a power source and begin battery charging.

Pairing Issues

I've paired the OdysseyControl to the OdysseyLink, but the Pairing Status Icon shows they are not connected?

Check the following:

Ensure Bluetooth on the OdysseyControl is turned on.
Ensure the switch on the BatteryPlus35 Remote Switch input is not activated.
Ensure the BatteryPlus35 is not in Storage Mode, as this turns power to the OdysseyLink off, preventing communication.

If the BatteryPlus35 is in Storage Mode, the operational LED status indicator on the BatteryPlus35 will emit a single yellow flash. Connect the BatteryPlus35 to a power source and begin battery charging. When sufficiently charged, communication between the OdysseyLink and OdysseyControl will automatically reestablish.

I've fitted a battery to the BatteryPlus35, but it's not detected in the OdysseyControl?
