Store the manual where it can be accessed easily.
This manual is for qualified personnel. The tasks described in this manual may be performed by qualified
personnel only.
CAUTION: The following will result in damage to your PHI batteries and will
Violate the terms of the Warranty
:
1. Incorrect battery wiring and/or installation
a. Verify polarity at all connections with a standard voltmeter if applicable (1) before energizing the
system and (2), before switching the built-in circuit breaker to the “ON” position. Reverse polarity at
the SimpliPHI Battery terminals will Violate the terms of the Warranty and may permanently damage
the SimpliPHI Batteries.
b. SimpliPHI Batteries must be fully charged before commissioning (i.e. before connecting loads). Failure
to do so will damage the SimpliPHI batteries and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
c. Lugs, washers and lug nuts must be installed according to the Installation Manual. Failure to do so will
damage the SimpliPHI Batteries and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
2. Pairing the battery with incompatible equipment. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons and will Violate the terms of the
Warranty.
a. Contact SimpliPhi Technical Support at [phone] x 1 regarding the compatibility of any
equipment not explicitly listed in the ‘SimpliPHI Integration Guides’ section of the Product
Documentation web page (https://simpliphipower.com/product-documentation/
).
b. Refer to the SimpliPhi-Approved Chargers list (Appendix B of this document) for all compatible
external / plug-in battery chargers. Use only a SimpliPhi-approved LFP battery charger if ancillary
charging is required before installation, testing or troubleshooting. Failure to use a SimpliPhi-approved
LFP battery charger will damage the SimpliPHI Battery and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
3. Incorrect inverter and/or charge controller settings. Operating the SimpliPHI Battery in conjunction with
equipment not programmed to the SimpliPHI Battery’s settings will Violate the terms of the Warranty.
a. Refer to the ‘SimpliPHI Integration Guides’ section of the Product Documentation web page
(https://simpliphipower.com/product-documentation/
) for all inverter and charge controller settings.
b. Although each SimpliPHI Battery contains an internal Battery Management System (BMS) with
circuitry that protects the SimpliPHI Battery cells from over-charge, over-discharge and extreme load
amperage, the SimpliPHI Battery must always be installed with appropriate inverter and/or charge
controller settings and power electronics to protect the SimpliPHI Battery from open solar
photovoltaic (PV) voltage and other high voltage charging sources.
c. Failure to protect the SimpliPHI batteries from voltages higher than the battery voltage rating (48-56
VDC) will destroy the SimpliPHI batteries, cause electrical fires and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
