• 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.
CAUTION: When commissioning the system, the appropriate controller and inverter settings
must be programmed per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult the manufacturer’s
manuals and/or the Integration Guides listed on SimpliPhi’s Product Documentation web page.
Failing to do so will damage the SimpliPHI batteries and will Violate the terms of the Warranty.
6.0 – Troubleshooting
Certain SimpliPHI BMS fault trip conditions (outlined in Section 1.3.1 and Table 1.0 of this Manual) result in the
need for a manual re-set of your SimpliPHI Battery’s internal BMS. If a fault has occurred, consult SimpliPhi
Technical Support (ESSTech@basco.com) to ensure that your SimpliPHI Battery bank has been sized correctly
and inhabits operational conditions.
Once the fault’s cause has been addressed with Support, take the following steps to re-set the BMS:
The PHI batteries are reading extremely low or no voltage:
1. If the breakers are not all off already, turn off each of the built-in breakers in all of the SimpliPHI
Batteries in the battery bank.
