4.0 – Program Settings for PHI Batteries
In order to maintain the Warranty, it is critical to ensure that the appropriate settings for the desired Warranty
are programmed in all the system components. This section will cover the basic concepts and settings for the
PHI 3.8 Batteries as well as settings specific to Victron products.
4.1 – Depth of Discharge
In order to optimize performance and the life of your system and PHI batteries, SimpliPhi Power recommends
programming the equipment settings for 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD). This enables the batteries to achieve
an expected 10,000 cycles. Greater DoD is possible, but will result in reduced cycle life.
4.2 – PHI 3.8 General Settings with Victron
The general program settings for the PHI 3.8 Batteries with Victron products are outlined below.
