be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS

compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally

added to the component. In the EU, some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance.

A.2 – Green Attributes, Environmental & Ecological Considerations

A.2.1 – Materials

The primary materials (lithium, iron, phosphate) that make up AmpliPHI Batteries are environmentally

benign and pose very few polluting or environmentally degrading by-products in the harvesting and

refinement processes. This is especially true when compared to those of lead acid, NMC, NCA, LCO,

NiCad, and NiMH batteries.

A.2.2 – By Products

There are no toxic by-products associated with the manufacturing or use of AmpliPHI Batteries, such

as off-gassing hydrogen, sulfuric acid spillage, lead contamination, or explosive chemicals.

A.2.3 – Operation

There is no need for maintenance, such as adding water or chemicals, nor is there corrosion of

terminals or containment facilities, or dispersion of fumes as with other battery types. Once installed,

AmpliPHI Batteries are maintenance free as long as all the Installation Manual, Integration Guidelines

and Warranty requirements are adhered to.

A.2.4 – Life Cycles

AmpliPHI Batteries are designed for thousands of cycles while maintaining 80 percent or more of their

initial capacity. To achieve this, it is critical to follow the operating conditions outlined in our manuals.

A.2.5 – Disposal

AmpliPHI products are non-hazardous, may be disposed of without damage to the ecosystem, and

returned to the earth, while easily recombining with the elements without harmful by-products. The

outer casing and brackets contain steel, aluminum, copper, cardboard, and recyclable plastic. Lithium

Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) materials can also be recycled through established battery centers if desired.

A.2.6 – Lithium Ferrous Phosphate Batteries and the Environment

As the use of this battery chemistry in larger batteries becomes more common, questions of

sustainability and environmental impact inevitably arise. Of the lithium ferrous phosphate chemistries

being considered for large format batteries, SimpliPhi Power believes that batteries based on our

proprietary lithium ferrous phosphate chemistry and circuitry offer a clear advantage, not only over

alternate Li-ion chemistries (lithium cobalt oxide), but all battery chemistries that are currently

commercially available. This belief is based on the minimal environmental impact associated with the

manufacturing of AmpliPHI and PHI Batteries, the extended cycle life and the significantly smaller end-

of-life footprint that results from the use of AmpliPHI and PHI Batteries.

A.3 – Summary

The Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells utilized throughout the entire AmpliPHI, PHI and LibertyPak

product lines are classified as non-hazardous by OSHA and WHMIS. They are non-toxic, unlike NMC, NCA,

LCO, NiMH, NiCad or Lead Acid types of batteries (including AGM). SimpliPhi Batteries contain the least

amount of toxic metals and are the most eco-friendly of all common battery types. Lithium easily combines into

harmless compounds when disposed of. SimpliPhi Batteries are the least polluting rechargeable batteries on
