PHI Legacy Battery Parameters
SimpliPhi’s legacy batteries have previously been associated with different operating conditions and limitations than
those outlined in Section 5.0 of this manual. While PHI Battery operation according to those previously published
parameters is not harmfu
l to the PHI Battery and does not void legacy batteries’ warranties, SimpliPhi recommends
the following operating conditions for increased PHI Battery system optimization:

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.
