– Program Settings for PHI Batteries
In order to maintain the Warranty, it is critical to ensure that the appropriate settings for the desired
Warranty are programmed in all the system components. This section will cover the basic concepts and
settings for the PHI 3.8 Batteries as well as settings specific to Victron products.
4.1
– Depth of Discharge
In order to optimize performance and the life of your system and PHI batteries, SimpliPhi Power
recommends programming the equipment settings for 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD). This qualifies for
the SimpliPhi 10-year / 10,000 cycle Warranty on the PHI Batteries. Greater DoD is possible, but will
result in reduced cycle life. Refer to the PHI 3.8 kWh Battery Warranty to compare DoD settings and the
associated Warranty.
