Overall Battery System Sizing
Size the PHI battery bank so that the minimum number of batteries in the bank is the greater of the two
figures obtained from the Discharge and Charge calculations. For example, a system that requires 5 PHI
Batteries to ensure that the battery bank does not over-discharge and 3 PHI Batteries to ensure that the
battery bank does not over-charge, should include a final minimum quantity of 5 batteries. Failure to do so
will destroy the PHI batteries and will Void the Warranty.
Note that this quantity of PHI Batteries is the
minimum
requirement to prevent over-discharge and over-
charge from an instantaneous power perspective. The system may need more PHI Batteries in the battery
bank in order to meet the system’s energy requirement (the amount of power the batteries must supply to
the loads
over time
).
Refer to SimpliPhi’s online Battery Bank Sizing Estimator tool for assistance with sizing the PHI Battery
Bank according to connected loads and the desired number of days of autonomy:

CAUTION: Not all system discharge or charge characteristics can be mitigated via
programming. Under-
sizing a PHI Battery bank relative to the system’s max
imum discharge or
charge rate will destroy the PHI Batteries and Void the Warranty.
