CAUTION: Although each SimpliPHI Battery contains an internal communication based BMS
with circuitry that protects the SimpliPHI Battery cells from over-charge, over-discharge and
extreme load amperage, the SimpliPHI Batteries must always be installed with appropriate
inverter and/or charge controller settings to protect the SimpliPHI Battery from open PV
voltage and other high voltage charging sources. Exposure to higher voltage than the
SimpliPHI battery rating (48-56 VDC) will Violate the terms of the Warranty and may damage
the SimpliPHI batteries.
1.3.2 – Built-In Breaker
SimpliPHI batteries are outfitted with a hydraulic/magnetic circuit breaker. This breaker increases
safety during shipping and installations and allows the battery to effectively be turned “OFF” or “ON.”
The breaker works in conjunction with the battery’s built-in BMS and creates additional safety,
efficiency and functionality in the overall power storage system.
Figure 1.0 – SimpliPHI 4.9 Circuit Breaker
NOTE: Circuit breakers, disconnects and fuses should be employed throughout several points of a power
storage and generation installation to effectively isolate and protect all components of the system to safeguard
against faults, short circuits, polarity reversals or a failure of any component in the overall system. Fuses,
breakers, wiring ratings and values should be determined by established electrical codes and standards and
evaluated by certified electricians, installers, and regional code authorities.
