Figure 13.0 – AmpliPHI Battery’s Terminator Plug

The maximum number of AmpliPHI batteries that can be connected in a single system is 40, with a maximum total

connected distance of 40m (131 feet) from the first AmpliPHI battery module to the last AmpliPHI battery module.

While one 4’ CAT5 networking cable is provided per AmpliPHI battery, shor

ter networking cable for daisy-chaining

the batteries may be used.

Utilizing the last/closest battery to the inverter, create the closed loop communications bridge between the AmpliPHI

Battery and the Communication Input Port in compatible equipment utilizing CAT5 or greater cable. The cable length

from the last AmpliPHI Battery to the Inverter cannot exceed 40m (131 feet).

4.8 – Battery System Commissioning

CAUTION: AmpliPHI Batteries should be installed, wired and commissioned by a qualified

installer or professional electrician who is familiar with general electrical safety precautions

and specific regional code requirements.

If the AmpliPHI Battery’s voltage has dropped (during an extended period in storage) to a voltage below the inverter’s

minimum starting voltage requirement, then the battery will need to be charged using a plug-in / external charger.

SimpliPhi’s batteries have a very low self-discharge rate and typically do not require ancillary charging. If the AmpliPHI

Battery’s voltage has dropped due to over-discharge, try the steps outlined in Section 6.0 – Troubleshooting prior to

using ancillary charging equipment.

CAUTION: Only use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger if ancillary charging is required

before installation, testing or troubleshooting. Failure to use a SimpliPhi approved LFP

charger will damage the AmpliPHI Batteries and Void the Warranty. See Appendix C for

more details on approved chargers.

1. Before installing the AmpliPHI Battery, inspect the battery for any signs of damage. Do not install or operate

the battery if it has been damaged during shipping.

2. Prepare the battery module for installation by removing its plastic terminal covers, 11/16” stainless steel hex

nuts and 3/8” lock washers from the battery terminals and set aside.
