Appendix C – PHI Approved External Chargers
This Appendix section covers the PHI Battery’s approved external / plug-in chargers.
Typically, ancillary charging of SimpliPhi’s batteries is not required, and charging using any of the charge controllers and/
or inverter/chargers listed in the “Integration Guides” section of the SimpliPhi web site’s Product Documentation page is
acceptable. However, ancillary charging may be necessary in the following situations:
1. No charge controller or inverter/charger is available
2. Increasing the battery’s State of Charge (SoC) after an extended storage period and prior to installation
3. For recharge purposes when the battery’s voltage is below the minimum required voltage for charge controller and/or
inverter/charger equipment to turn on
C.1 – Recommended 48V Charger
The 54.6V 4A 13 Series 48V LiFePO4 Smart Charger from WAOUKS is recommended and available online for purchase at this

When placing your order, specify the connection type to match your battery model. PHI 3.8 and PHI 2.9 model batteries require
a charger with alligator clips or crocodile clips, whereas PHI 1.4 and PHI 730 model batteries require a charger with Anderson
Connectors.
C.4 – Alternative Chargers
If the above listed chargers are unavailable or undeliverable to your specic location, SimpliPhi also approves of Iota
Engineering’s battery chargers (link here) to increase the PHI battery’s voltage. These chargers should only be used in order to
increase battery voltage enough to regain system operability; these chargers should not be used to regularly and fully charge the
PHI battery.
