MILWAUKEE,
Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The new SimpliPHI 6.6 stackable
battery from Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions has been
certified for sale in Puerto Rico.
The batteries recently received Certification of Renewable Energy
Equipment (Certificación de Equipos de Energía Renovable) from the
Puerto Rican permit management office (Oficina de Gerencia de
Permisos or OGPe).
"We've been working in Puerto Rico for many years and all of our
batteries are OGPe approved for sale on the island," said Sequoya
Cross, vice president of energy storage for Briggs & Stratton
Energy Solutions. "The versatility and price point of our 6.6
battery is ideal for the Puerto Rican market."
Designed for easy installation and with a
compact, sleek appearance, Briggs &
Stratton® SimpliPHI 6.6 batteries are IP65 rated so
they can be installed indoors or outdoors with no additional
cabinets required. They can be ground- or wall-mounted inside a
garage, shed, utility closet or basement or outside on an exterior
wall. Plus, the flexibility of using one, two or three batteries
per stack means the system can fit into small spaces.
SimpliPHI 6.6 batteries can be used with or
without solar to provide backup power, to offset utility costs or
for off-grid power with a generator and solar panels.
For installers, the 6.6 batteries have
self-guiding RapidStak™ Connectors that integrate power and
communications into a single point without wires or DIP switches.
The batteries simply stack on top of one another and click into
place, making installation easier and more efficient. Assembling a
stack of three can be done in five minutes or less. The SimpliPHI
6.6 has full closed-loop integration with leading inverters for
advanced communication and broad non-communicating compatibility
with any 48V lithium-supporting inverter.
Tested and certified to the most stringent
standards, the SimpliPHI 6.6 battery is UL 1642, UL 1973, UN 3480
and UN DOT 38.3 certified and has gone through UL 9540A fire safety
testing. It recently secured its UL 9540 Edition 3 certification as
a standalone DC ESS.
The SimpliPHI 6.6 battery has a 10-year limited
warranty and is guaranteed to retain 75% capacity after 10
years.1 Plus, SimpliPHI batteries are backed by
