PHI 2.7 Battery, the electrolyte can be ignited by an open flame. However, unlike other lithium ion batteries (LCO) there are no hazardous or toxic materials in the electrolyte or the material components of PHI 2.7 Batteries.
1.2.2 – Charging at Temperatures Below Freezing It is important to take necessary steps to determine the temperature of the PHI 2.7 Battery prior to charging the battery, as the battery may otherwise be adversely impacted. CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge the PHI 2.7 Battery below 32°...
Battery performance parameters to be aware of during the design process, guidance on system sizing, as well as mounting hardware and PHI 2.7 Battery weight. SimpliPhi Power, Inc. | 420 Bryant Circle | Ojai, CA 93023, USA | (805) 640-6700 | info@simpliphipower.com | SimpliPhiPower.com...
SimpliPhi Power PHI 2.7 Batteries can be mounted in practically any orientation (terminals up or on any side), with no impact to the performance of the PHI 2.7 Battery. Do not install them upside down. The brackets can be mounted directly to a wall or can be arranged on strut channels for ease of positioning (mounting hardware not included).
3.5 – Battery Wall Mount + Bracket Dimensions Please see the table below for physical dimensions of the PHI 2.7 Battery both with, and without, the SimpliPhi Power Mounting Bracket, as well as a diagram that provides guidance on Mounting Bracket assembly.
Use identical wire construction from each PHI 2.7 Battery terminal to the common bus. All PHI 2.7 Batteries are designed to serve at a fixed voltage range in parallel arrangements for maximum available amperage and storage capacity. PHI 2.7 Batteries are not designed to be arranged in series for increased voltage.

Figure 3.0 represents two PHI 2.7 Batteries in Parallel. Wire lengths from PHI 2.7 Batteries should be identical in length and gauge in order to balance the load across (all) PHI 2.7 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.
A brief small spark is often present when connecting the second of two leads to a PHI 2.7 Battery. Example: If the Positive has been connected, a small spark will likely be present when connecting the Negative lead. This is a normal occurrence. Complete all connections in a clean, ventilated, well-lit area.
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 2.7 Battery bank.

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 2.7 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.
