CAUTION:
Charging LFP batteries at temperatures below freezing.
Do not attempt to charge the battery below 32 F (0 degrees C). Although cold temperatures do not harm
PHI batteries, attempts to charge at subfreezing temperatures can adversely affect SOH and cycle life, and
will void the Warranty. If the battery must be charged below 32 F (0 degrees C), the rate of charge must be
at no more than 5% of the battery’s rated capacity (C/20).
Only use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger if ancillary charging is required before installation, testing or trou-
bleshooting. Failure to use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger will damage the battery and void the warranty.
SimpliPhi Power PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Protective Features:
PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are manufactured utilizing Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells, which are
produced under exclusive patented licensed technologies, as well as proprietary materials, architecture,
assembly methods and battery management system (BMS). This assures the highest grade and quality,
longest cycle-life, greatest efficiency and freedom from material impurities, toxicity and hazardous risk.
Each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells
from overcharge, over-discharge and excessive load amperage. If the values specified are exceeded, the
protective circuitry will shut down the flow of electricity to/from the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries. In some
cases this will result in the need to re-initialize an inverter charger. Often, inverter system settings will be
saved within the inverter memory storage and will not need to be reset. This is not an absolute standard
but is common amongst most inverter chargers and should be anticipated if the
PHI2.6™
Smart-Tech
Batteries go into a state of self-protection and shut down the flow of electricity.
In addition, the
PHI2.6™
Smart-Tech Battery is equipped with a built in 80 Amp breaker that effectively works
as an “ON/OFF” switch to be used during shipping and installation. The breaker works in conjunction with
the built in battery management system (BMS) and creates additional safety, efficiency
and functionality to the overall power storage system.
