PHI Approved External Chargers
This
Appendix section covers the PHI Battery’s approved external / plug
-in chargers.
Typically, ancillary charging of SimpliPhi’s batteries
is not required, and charging using any of the charge controllers

page is acceptable. However, ancillary charging may be necessary in the following situations:
1.
No charge controller or inverter/charger is available
2.
Increasing the battery’s State of Charge (SoC) after an ext
ended storage period and prior to installation
3.
For recharge purposes when the battery’s voltage is below the minimum required voltage for charge
controller and/or inverter/charger equipment to turn on

Alternative Chargers
If the above listed chargers are unavailable or undeliverable to your specific location, SimpliPhi also approves of Iota
Engineering’s battery chargers
to increase the PHI battery’s volt
age. These chargers should only be used
in order to increase battery voltage enough to regain system operability; these chargers should not be used to
regularly and fully charge the PHI battery.
