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, PHI Batteries are maintenance free as long as all
the Installation Manual, Integration Guidelines and Warranty requirements are adhered to.
A.2.4 – Life Cycles
PHI 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 the Warranty.
A.2.5 – Disposal
PHI 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 PHI Batteries, the extended cycle life and the signicantly smaller end-of-life footprint that results from
the use of PHI Batteries.
A.3 – Summary
The Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells utilized throughout the entire PHI and LibertyPak product lines are classied 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). The PHI 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. The PHI Batteries are the least polluting
rechargeable batteries on the market today – no fumes, leaking, or gas discharge and no chemicals or acids to worry about.
