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.
