specified rating of the PHI battery. These settings are described in the following sections of this Integration Guide. 3.2 – Charge Calculation: Charge Controller Power Sizing To optimize solar harvesting, a properly sized PHI battery bank should be able to accept the maximum PV charge current. To determine the minimum number of PHI batteries required to optimize PV, divide the output of the charge controller(s) by the “max continuous charge current” per PHI battery.
4.0 – Program Settings for PHI 3.5 Battery In order to maintain the Warranty, it is critical to ensure that the appropriate settings for the desired Warranty are programmed in all of the system components. This section will cover the basic concepts and settings for Midnite Solar equipment. 4.1 – Depth of Discharge In order to optimize performance and the life of your system and PHI batteries, SimpliPhi recommends programming the equipment settings for 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD).
4.2 – Charge Controller Settings Please review Table 2.0 below for Midnite Solar charge controller program settings. To initiate a factory reset, hold left & right arrow buttons while turning on Battery Breaker. This is normally only done for initial setup, as doing so will erase all custom settings.
