Notes:
• 1. Per PHI 3.8 Battery – These settings are calculated by multiplying the nominal per battery value times the # of PHI
Batteries.
• 2. These levels exceed the warrantied recommended operating conditions.
• 3. For BACKUP ONLY applications, set to desired backup level. This is the level batteries cycle to normally before
recharge. If the grid fails, cut-off is determined by the Dynamic Cut-Off values.
• Levels are typical @ 25°C and may need adjusting at temperature extremes.
• When performing rapid deep charge/discharge cycles, the PHI Battery should be allowed to "rest" 15 minutes in between.
• Always refer to the SimpliPhi Power Manual and Warranty for the specific PHI Battery model.
