5.0 – Programming
5.1 – Operating Parameters per Warranty
Although the PHI 1.3 Batteries are capable of performing at very high rates and depths of discharge
within a very wide temperature range, in order to achieve extended life cycles and to comply with the
Warranty, the operating parameters, indicated in Tables 2.0 and 3.0 below, must be applied based on
desired Warranty/cycle life.

•
1. Continuous charge/discharge rate limitations vary per PHI battery model. Refer to Table 3.0.
•
2. 60A Discharge/Charge Rate (10 minutes maximum)
•
3. Levels are typically @ 25
°
C and may need adjusting at temperature extremes.
•
4. Recharge voltage is typically set nominally higher than LBCO to initiate recharge before cut-off. Some applications
(i.e. backup only) may desire setting these levels higher to ensure minimum SoC in the event of primary power outage.
•
When performing rapid deep charge/discharge cycles, the PHI 1.3 Battery should be allowed to "rest" 15 mins in
between.
CAUTION:
Verify polarity at all connections before energizing system. Reverse polarity at the PHI 1.3 Battery
terminals will void the Warranty and destroy the PHI 1.3 Batteries.
CAUTION:
Before commissioning the system, the appropriate controller and inverter settings must be
programmed per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult the manufacturer’s manuals and/or
access technical support (Schneider, SMA, Magnum, Outback, etc.). The above-listed Charge Controller
Integration tables are for general reference only.
CAUTION:
All SimpliPhi Power products are designed to work exclusively in parallel. Never connect in
series to achieve higher voltages
