4.0 – Installation
4.1 – Installation Options
The PHI 3.8 Battery can be mounted in practically any orientation (terminals up or on any side), with no impact to the
performance of the PHI Battery. Do not install the battery upside down, with the terminals facing the oor.
4.2 – Environmental Considerations
4.2.1 – Charging at Temperatures Below Freezing
It is important to take necessary steps to determine the temperature of the PHI Battery prior to charging the battery, as the
battery may otherwise be adversely impacted.
MISE EN GARDE: Tous les systèmes de décharge ou de charge ne peuvent pas être modiés par une
programmation. Un mauvais dimensionnement du groupe de Batteries PHI par rapport à la décharge
maximale ou du taux de charge du système, détruira les Batteries PHI et Annulera la Garantie.
CAUTION: Not all system discharge or charge characteristics can be mitigated via programming. Under-
sizing a PHI Battery bank relative to the system’s maximum discharge or charge rate will destroy the PHI
Batteries and Void the Warranty.
MISE EN GARDE: Ne pas charger la Batterie PHI en dessous de 0° C (32° F). Tout chargement à des
températures de congélation peuvent nuire à l’état de santé et la durée de vie de la batterie, et Annuleront la
Garantie.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge the PHI Battery below 32° F (0° C). Attempts to charge at subfreezing
temperatures can adversely affect SOH and cycle life and will Void the Warranty.
4.2.2 – Explosive Gas Precautions
PHI Batteries are not ignition protected. To prevent re or explosion, do not install this product in locations that require
ignition-protected equipment. This includes any conned space containing vented batteries, or ammable chemicals such as,
natural gas (NG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or gasoline (Benzine/Petrol).
Do not install in a conned space with machinery powered by ammable chemicals, or storage tanks, ttings, or other
connections between components of fuel or ammable chemical systems.
PHI 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 qualied installer to determine if this is advisable, and if so, what solution best suits your application.
