PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Units
Safety Attributes and Certifications/Green Characteristics
SAFETY ATTRIBUTES AND CERTIFICATIONS
Intrinsically Safe Operation and Installation
The PHI Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) battery cell component is made with an intrinsically safe cathode
material (iron phosphate). This creates a strong molecular bond, which withstands extreme conditions,
prolongs cycle life, and maintains integrity with little or no maintenance over extended periods of time.
There is virtually no danger of Thermal Runaway, as there may be with Lead Acid, NiCd, and Lithium Cobalt
type batteries. No venting or cooling is required. No precautions or special structural considerations are
necessary when installing PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries.
There are No Safety Hazards due to Off-Gassing, Exposure to Acids or Thermal Runaway as there are
with Lead Acid AGM type batteries
PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries do not vent dangerous gasses, such as hydrogen and oxygen, because there
are no chemicals used in the creation of the electrical energy, in contrast to Lead Acid and other battery
chemistries. There are no dangers of exposure to sulfuric acid because PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries do
not have caustic electrolytes. Thermal runaway is not an issue with PHI products due to the basic nature of
Lithium Ferro Phosphate cell chemistry utilized in all our power storage products.
PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Control and Protective Circuitry
SimpliPhi Power Inc. utilizes balancing, voltage regulation, thermal, current controls, as well as other
protective measure, in its PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Management System (BMS). This protective circuitry
is embedded in the architecture of each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery.
UN DOT Certified Cells
The Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells are independently certified to withstand the UN DOT T1-
T8 testing guidelines with no special circuitry added. These tests include short circuit, over-voltage,
overcharging, extreme temperature, high altitudes, shock and extreme vibration testing.
UL Compliance
The Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells within the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries fully comply with the safety
testing parameters of UL 1642.
RoHS Compliant
SimpliPhi Power Smart-Tech Batteries are RoHS compliant. Any
RoHS compliant
component is tested for
the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated
biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium,
there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials levels. For
Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must 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.
