Notes:
•
1.
Per PHI battery – Refer to Section 3.0 herein for charge controller PHI battery bank sizing.
•
2.
Per PHI battery – These settings are calculated by multiplying the nominal value per each PHI battery times the # of
PHI batteries. For other batteries, refer to the Warranty and Specification Sheet for the specific model.
•
3.
Float Timeout setting can be used in place of a ReBulk setting. Adjust this setting to the desired time you would like
the battery to remain below the float voltage before entering into a its bulk stage charging cycle. Levels are typical @
25°C and may need adjusting at temperature extremes.
• When performing rapid deep charge/discharge cycles, the PHI battery should be allowed to "rest" 15 minutes in
between.
• Always refer to the SimpliPhi Power Manual and Warranty for the specific PHI battery model.
CAUTION: When PHI battery quantities change, the capacity & charge/discharge current
settings must be reassessed. Failure to do so will void the Warranty.
