CAUTION: Although each PHI Battery contains an internal BMS with circuitry that protects
the PHI Battery cells from over-charge, over-discharge and extreme load amperage, the PHI
Batteries must always be installed with appropriate inverter and/or charge controller
settings to protect the PHI Battery from open PV voltage and other high voltage charging
sources. Exposure to higher voltage than the PHI battery rating (12, 24 &48V) will destroy
the PHI batteries and Void the Warranty.

Built-In Breaker
PHI batteries with threaded stud connections (such as battery models PHI 3.8, PHI 2.9, PHI 3.5, etc.)
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.

PHI 3.8 kWh Circuit Breaker
NOTE: Not all PHI Battery models (such as the PHI 2.9 Lo-Profile, PHI 1.4, PHI 1.2 High Output, etc.) include built-in breakers.
In either case, 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, licensed installers, and
regional code authorities.
