SimpliPHI® 6.6 Battery from Briggs & Stratton Receives Puerto Rico OGPe Certification

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.
