[RE-wrenches] SimpliPhi Power PHI3.4 Smart -Tech Batteries

[Chris Mason]

I had a situation with a Sonnon system where the controller missed it's
turn off point and discharged the batteries until there was not enough
voltage to keep the BMS running. I jury rigged two 300W panels in parallel
and charged the batteries directly until they turned on the BMS.
