PHI 1.3 from open PV voltage and other high voltage charging sources. Do not attempt to replace existing power electronics without SimpliPhi’s written approval. Failure to adhere to installation protocol will void the Warranty.
PHI 1.3 Batteries. See MSDS for chemical analyses (Appendix A). 1.2.2 – Charging at Temperatures Below Freezing It is important to take necessary steps to determine the temperature of the PHI 1.3 Battery prior to charging the battery, as the battery may otherwise be adversely impacted. CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge the PHI 1.3 Battery below...
Specifications are typical/nominal @ 25°C. Subject to change without notice. • There is less than 1% loss of energy during charging. SimpliPhi Power, Inc. | 420 Bryant Circle | Ojai, CA 93023, USA | (805) 640-6700 | info@simpliphipower.com | SimpliPhiPower.com | 6 |...
See specific inverter manufacturer program settings for optimizing system integration. PHI 1.3 Batteries do not need to be de-rated unless running continuously at more than 50% capacity, at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, or above 49 degrees Celsius. To achieve higher, warrantied cycles of 10,000+, the PHI 1.3 Batteries are typically operated at 80% maximum Depth of Discharge.

Figure 1.0 represents two PHI 1.3 Batteries in Parallel. Wire lengths from PHI 1.3 Batteries should be identical in length and gauge in order to balance the load across (all) PHI 1.3 Batteries in the installation. Identical wiring length is a critical feature of parallel power storage systems that must be adhered to throughout all parallel wiring instructions.
Do not reverse polarity. It will void the Warranty. Use a volt meter to check polarity before connecting terminals. A brief small spark is often present when connecting the leads to a PHI 1.3 Battery. Example: If the Positive has been connected, a small spark will likely be present when connecting the Negative lead.

24 hours (10% at top of charge and 10% at bottom of charge). This allows a system to stay online until at least one full day of sun can recharge the PHI 1.3 Battery bank.
(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.
Under normal use, the PHI 1.3 Battery does not expose the user to hazardous ingredients. USA: The PHI 1.3 Battery is an article pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1200 and, as such, is not subject to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard Requirement.

Skin: Contact between the PHI 1.3 Battery and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with positive and negative terminals of high voltages may cause burns to the skin. Skin contact with a ruptured PHI 1.3 Battery can cause skin irritation.
Appendix B – PHI 1.3 Battery Safety & Green Attributes, Certifications This Appendix section covers the PHI 1.3 Battery safety attributes and certifications, such as the lack of thermal runaway and off-gassing, UN DOT certification and UL compliance. It also covers the PHI 1.3 Battery’s green attributes –...

This is especially true when compared to those of lead acid, NiCad, and NiMH batteries. B.2.2 – By Products There are no toxic by-products associated with the assembly or use of PHI 1.3 Batteries, such as off-gassing hydrogen, sulfuric acid spillage, lead contamination, or explosive chemicals. B.2.3 – Operation There is no need for maintenance, such as adding water or chemicals, nor is there corrosion of terminals or containment facilities, or dispersion of fumes as with other battery types.
