5.1 – Operating Parameters per Warranty
Although the PHI Batteries are capable of performing at very high rates and depths of discharge within a
very wide temperature range, in order to achieve extended life cycles and to comply with the Warranty,
the operating parameters, indicated in Tables 4.0 and 5.0 below, must be applied based on desired
Warranty/cycle life. Refer to the manufacturer-specific Integration Guide from SimpliPhi’s Product
Documentation web page for a complete list of settings: https://simpliphipower.com/product-
documentation/.

Levels are typically @ 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 mins in
between.
