CAUTIONIf the AmpliPHI Battery must be charged below 32° F ( C), the rate of charge must
be at no more than 5% of the PHI Battery’s rated capacity (C/20), or be connected to an
approved battery. Not doing so will Void the Warranty.
4.2.2 Explosive Gas Precautions
AmpliPHI 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
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.
AmpliPHI 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.
CAUTION: Do not combine AmpliPHI Batteries with other brands, chemistries, or models
(including the standard PHI model batteries). Do not mix AmpliPHI Batteries from different
installations, clients or job sites. Either of these combinations will Void the Warranty.
4.3 Mounting Hardware
AmpliPHI Battery mounting brackets (sold separately) are designed to secure one AmpliPHI 3.8 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 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 of brackets. Refer to Table 2.0 and Figure 2.0 for AmpliPHI Battery and
mounting bracket dimensions and weights.
During mechanical testing, individual AmpliPHI 3.8 Mounting Brackets were exposed to 200 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 AmpliPHI 3.8 Module with a
weight of 86 pounds.
