4.2.2 – Explosive Gas Precautions
SimpliPHI Batteries are not ignition protected. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install this product
in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any confined space containing
different vented batteries, or flammable chemicals such as, natural gas (NG), liquid petroleum gas
(LPG) or gasoline (Benzine/Petrol).
Do not install in a confined space with machinery powered by flammable chemicals, or storage tanks,
fittings, or other connections between components of fuel or flammable chemical systems.
SimpliPHI Batteries do not vent any harmful gasses and do not require special ventilation or cooling.
4.2.3 – Anti-Corrosion Protection
Anticorrosive compounds or epoxies are occasionally used in harsh or marine climate installations. Please
consult your electrician or qualified installer to determine if this is advisable, and if so, what solution best suits
your application. SimpliPHI Batteries are powder-coated steel and may exhibit discoloration when exposed to
extreme elements and harsh chemicals. This discoloration will not affect battery performance and is not
covered under Warranty. Batteries should be installed in locations in which they are not exposed to saltwater
spray or chemicals that may cause discoloration.
CAUTION: Do not combine SimpliPHI Batteries with other brands, chemistries, or models
(including the standard PHI model batteries). Do not mix SimpliPHI Batteries from different
installations, clients or job sites. Either of these combinations will Violate the terms of the
Warranty.
4.3 – Mounting Hardware
SimpliPHI Battery wall bracket is designed to secure one SimpliPHI 4.9 Battery to a load bearing surface. The
brackets can be mounted directly to a wall or can be arranged on strut channels for ease of positioning
(mounting hardware other than wall brackets is not included). Mounting brackets should be mounted into load
bearing beams, studs or solid materials with appropriate fasteners. A qualified installer should be familiar with
accomplishing this with the appropriate load bearing requirements. SimpliPhi Power is not liable for damage
caused by the inappropriate installation of mounting brackets. Refer to Table 2.0 and Figure 2.0 for SimpliPHI
Battery and mounting bracket dimensions and weights.
During mechanical testing, individual SimpliPHI 4.9 Mounting Brackets were exposed to 250 pounds each of
downward pressure along the bracket’s outer edge. During this test, a deflection of approximately 30
thousandths of an inch was measured. Bracket sets are designed to hold one SimpliPHI 4.9 Module with a
weight of 160 pounds.
