1.0 – Introduction This integration guide covers the recommended set up and configuration of Outback Power equipment for optimizing performance with SimpliPhi PHI 3.8 kWh batteries. More information on SimpliPhi products can be found on our website: https://simpliphipower.com/. Outback Power offers many products which are too numerous to be covered here.
3.2 – Charge Calculation: Charge Controller Power Bank 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 batteries required to optimize PV, divide the output of the charge controller(s) by the “max continuous charge current” per PHI Battery. Be sure to verify the “max continuous charge current” for the PHI battery model that you’re using, because it may differ from C/2 depending on the model.

CAUTION: When PHI battery quantities change, the capacity & charge/discharge current settings must be reassessed. Failure to do so will void the Warranty. 4.4 – FLEXnet DC Settings Table 3.0 - Settings for SimpliPhi PHI 3.8 kWh 48V Battery w/Outback FLEXnet DC 10k Cycles (80% DoD) FLEXnet DC Settings 5k Cycles (90% DoD) FNDC Battery Ah1 151Ah / 75Ah FNDC Charged Voltage (V) FNDC Charged Return 3.5k Cycles (100% DoD) 27.0 / 54.0 27.0 / 54.0 Amps1 27.8 / 55.

Example - Using the max DC charge current of 45 amps in a 24V system: 1. Multiply the charge current by the voltage: 45 Adc x 24 Vdc = 1,080 Wdc 2. Divide this by the charger efficiency (85% = 0.85): 1,080 Wdc ÷ 0.85 = 1,270 Wac 3. Divide this by the inverter voltage (120 or 240 Vac depending on inverter): 1,270 Wac ÷ 240Vac = 5.29 Aac 4.
