BASCO Integration Guide
A maximum of 6 stacks can be connected in a single system.
Per NFPA 855, a maximum of 40kWh in utility spaces or basements and 80kWh in garages our outdoor locations.
Systems larger than 80kwh should consult local AHJ for site requirements.
Required Tools
Materials Not Included
Floor Mount and Base Mount are ordered separately and fasteners are not included.
Floor mount base not intended for seismic zones.
Do not install the Battery Temperature Sensor. The PHI Batteries require no temperature compensation.
Provided Components
Each stack must have a Briggs & Stratton controller at the top and a Briggs & Stratton floor or wall mount bracket base on the bottom. Each stack must be installed at least 3 feet away from each other.
Structural Attachment RequiredThe installed wall hardware must be attached to concrete or finished studs. Drywall anchors can be used in addition to, but cannot replace, the structural hardware.
Don’t let your stationary battery system accidentally become a mobile battery system!
Reserve Capacity of 20%
To optimize the PHI batteries’ and overall system’s performance and life, SimpliPhi Power recommends programming the equipment settings for an 80% maximum Depth of Discharge (DoD). Maintaining the PHI battery at this DoD qualifies it for the 10-year / 10,000 cycle Warranty level. SimpliPhi warranties the PHI battery for fewer cycles at greater DoD levels: 90% DoD is correlated with a 5,000-cycle Warranty and 100%
DoD correlates with a 3,500-cycle Warranty.
Installation AngleThe SimpliPHI 6.6 battery is designed to be vertically mounted. The battery system must be installed upright with less than 1° tilt from vertical. Do not install the battery system upside down, on its back, side, more than 1° tilt from vertical, or on tilted walls. When installing the SimpliPHI 6.6 battery on uneven or sloped surfaces, it might be necessary to install shims between the floor and the bottom of the foot.
Floor Mount Base Installation (ordered separately)
For non-seismic zone floor mount installations, install on concrete floors with anchors using 1/4"-5/16” fasteners to >2” deep or wood floors with 1/4"-5/16” lag screws to full thread engagement through the subfloor.
Use a level to determine if the floor is level and that the wall is plumb. If the floor is not level, shims can be used to create a level surface.
Use a measuring tape to determine the hole positions for the floor mount base according to Figure 2 below. Mark the positions using a marker or pencil.
NOTE: Use the provided positioning guide to determine spacing from the wall to the floor mount base. The back holes of the floor mount base must be ~1⅝” from the wall, not
including the baseboards.
Pre-drill holes as required for fasteners to be used. For concrete, use of a hammer drill is recommended.
Remove any dust from in and around the holes and verify the distances between anchor points after drilling. If the
holes are incorrectly positioned, mark and drill again leaving enough space to not interfere with the existing holes.
If required, follow the manufacturer's instructions when placing anchors.
Floor Mount Base Option
(ordered separately)
Place the floor mount base on the floor aligned with the holes. Hand tighten the 4 bolts with appropriate locking
and flat washers. See Figure 3. Make sure that the floor mount base is level. Adjust with shims if necessary.
Tighten the bolts to manufacturer torque specifications. Do a second check to make sure that the floor mount base is still level.
