The SimpliPhi Power PHI2.6™ Technical Overview:

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Safety Protocol and Protective Features

Safety Protocol:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Circuit Breakers, Disconnects and Fuses should be employed throughout

several points of a power storage and generation installation to eectively isolate and protect all components of the system to safeguard against faults, short circuits, polarity reversals or a failure of any component in the overall system. Fuses, breakers, wiring ratings and values should be determined by established standards and evaluated by certiﬁed electricians, licensed installers, and regional code authorities. Although each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery contains both an 80 Amp circuit breaker and an internal BMS with circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells from overcharge, overdischarge and excessive load amperage, the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries must always be installed with a charge controller and the appropriate settings to protect the PHI2.6™ from open PV voltage and other high voltage charging sources. The PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Management System (BMS) and internal circuit breaker alone will not protect the PHI batteries from these extreme electrical phenomena. Failure to adhere to installation protocol will void the Warranty.

CAUTION: Verify polarity at all connections with a standard volt meter before 1) energizing the system and 2) turning the PHI2.6™ 80 Amp breaker “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position. Reverse polarity at the battery terminals will void the Warranty and destroy the batteries.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries pose some risk of shock or sparking during the installation and initial wiring and connection process. This is consistent with all other battery based storage formats. Be sure to turn the built-in 80 Amp breaker to the “OFF” position to minimalize the risk of shock or sparks during the installation and commissioning of the system. Use of insulated gloves, clothing and footwear is always recommended when working in close proximity to electrical devices. Cover, restrain or remove jewelry or conductive objects (metal bracelets, rings, belt buckles, metal snaps, zippers, etc.) when working with any electrical or mechanical device. Cover or restrain long hair and loose clothing when working with any electrical or mechanical device.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries do not vent any harmful gasses, and do not require special ventilation or cooling.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are not capable of thermal runaway. If the cells are severely damaged due to physical abuse incurred outside of warranted speciﬁcations, which can cause electrolyte leakage and other failures, as with any battery, the electrolyte can be ignited by an open ﬂame. However, unlike other lithium ion batteries (LCO) there are no hazardous or toxic materials in the electrolyte or the material components of PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries. See MSDS for chemical analyses (Page 23).

Page 5

CAUTION: Charging LFP batteries at temperatures below freezing.

Do not attempt to charge the battery below 32 F (0 degrees C). Although cold temperatures do not harm PHI batteries, attempts to charge at subfreezing temperatures can adversely aect SOH and cycle life, and will void the Warranty. If the battery must be charged below 32 F (0 degrees C), the rate of charge must be at no more than 5% of the battery’s rated capacity (C/20).

Only use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger if ancillary charging is required before installation, testing or troubleshooting. Failure to use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger will damage the battery and void the warranty.

SimpliPhi Power PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Protective Features:

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are manufactured utilizing Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells, which are produced under exclusive patented licensed technologies, as well as proprietary materials, architecture, assembly methods and battery management system (BMS). This assures the highest grade and quality, longest cycle-life, greatest eciency and freedom from material impurities, toxicity and hazardous risk.

Each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells from overcharge, over-discharge and excessive load amperage. If the values speciﬁed are exceeded, the protective circuitry will shut down the ﬂow of electricity to/from the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries. In some cases this will result in the need to re-initialize an inverter charger. Often, inverter system settings will be saved within the inverter memory storage and will not need to be reset. This is not an absolute standard but is common amongst most inverter chargers and should be anticipated if the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries go into a state of self-protection and shut down the ﬂow of electricity.

In addition, the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery is equipped with a built in 80 Amp breaker that eectively works as an “ON/OFF” switch to be used during shipping and installation. The breaker works in conjunction with the built in battery management system (BMS) and creates additional safety, eciency and functionality to the overall power storage system.

SimpliPhi Power PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Performance Parameters and Sizing Calculations:

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries perform at full rated capacity in most operating environments. No increase in sizing, no special compensations, no burying procedure or insulation needs to be considered when determining the size of the energy storage and management system under the following circumstances and conditions.

See speciﬁc inverter manufacturer program settings for optimizing system integration

Note: There is less than 1% loss of energy during charging.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries do not need to be de-rated unless running continuously at more than 90% capacity, at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, or above 60 degrees Celsius. To achieve higher cycles of 10,000+, please refer to operating temperatures and inverter settings on page 16 of the manual. Further details are available on request from SimpliPhi Power.

Installation Procedure and Diagrams

System Sizing for Your Installation

The number of PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries should be speciﬁed in terms of total storage capacity before the initial installation based on the goals and objectives of the project. All PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are balanced during ﬁnal production and testing stages. Following proper wiring guidelines ensures that a system will not require any manual balancing processes.

DO NOT COMBINE PHI2.6™ SMART-TECH BATTERIES WITH OTHER BRANDS OR CHEMISTRIES

DO NOT MIX PHI SMART-TECH BATTERIES FROM DIFFERENT INSTALLATIONS, CLIENTS, OR JOB SITES

System Conﬁguration - Basic Concepts

Safe and reliable installation requires trained and certiﬁed technicians. The following discussion of PHI SmartTech Battery conﬁgurations is a basic primer. Due to the variety of systems and components in the ﬁeld, all possible scenarios are not covered. This is not the purpose of this section of the manual. Refer to professional installers regarding your system and its components and speciﬁcations. We encourage you or your installer to contact us with any speciﬁc questions for technical support. We are committed to working with you and your installation team to achieve a safe, reliable storage system that will provide years of maintenance free service.

PHI SMART-TECH BATTERIES ARE DESIGNED FOR PARALLEL OPERATION ONLY - DO NOT ARRANGE IN SERIES FOR INCREASED VOLTAGE

System Wiring Basics

Refer to published electrical wiring speciﬁcations and ratings. All wire should be an appropriate gauge and construction to handle the loads that will be placed upon it. Heavy gauge, high strand copper wire is the industry standard due to its stability, eciency and overall quality. A qualiﬁed installer should understand this and must adhere to the industry standard and published electrical guidelines.

For All Installations

• Maintain identical wire lengths from each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery terminal to the common bus.

• Use identical wire construction from each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery terminal to the common bus.

All PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are outﬁtted with an 80A hydraulic/magnetic circuit breaker which will show a white base when tripped. This breaker increases safety during installations and allows the battery to eectively be turned “o” or “on.”

All PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are designed to serve at a ﬁxed voltage range in parallel arrangements for maximum available amperage and storage capacity. PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are not designed to be arranged in series for increased voltage. Series arrangements can result in damage to the Smart-Tech Battery’s protective circuitry and will void the Warranty.

Page 9

Simple Parallel Arrangements

Storage Capacity and total available Amperage is increased by Parallel arrangements. The following

illustration shows two PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries in Parallel. For example, assume that these are 24V Smart-Tech Batteries.

Note the overall Voltage range is not changed. The arrangement remains at 24 Volts, the available AH capacity, or ability to provide 24 Volt power over time, has been doubled. The available amperage from the system has been doubled. The same conﬁguration should be applied to other parallel arrangements, whether they are 24V or 48V. See Figure 1.2.

Figure 1.2 - A single PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery

Figure 1.3

Figure 1.3 represents two PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries in Parallel. Wire lengths from PHI Smart-Tech Batteries should be identical in length and gauge in order to balance the load across both (all) PHI SmartTech Batteries in the installation. Identical wiring length is a critical feature of parallel power storage

systems that must be adhered to throughout all parallel wiring instructions.

| 9 |

Page 10

Increasing Capacity with Parallel PHI Smart-Tech Battery Conﬁgurations

Special attention should be paid for parallel installations. Correct wiring is essential to insure optimum performance and system longevity. All wire “runs” should utilize identical wiring gauge and identical wire

lengths between PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries and the common negative or positive “Bus” or Load.

Use identical length and gauge wire to balance the load across the batteries.

Helpful Tips:

• Determine the cable length for the battery terminal farthest from the bus.

• Make all Battery cables a matching length.

• Additional cabling or slack that remains with the shorter distance runs can be coiled and secured with Zip Ties.

Figure 1.4

Figure 1.4 depicts one of four PHI2.6TM Smart-Tech Batteries that will have been wired in Parallel. The wiring arrangement will be repeated to connect all four Smart-Tech Batteries in parallel. The completion of this conﬁguration will require 8 identical lengths of appropriately heavy gauge copper wire.

Alternate wiring schemes are also eective. The “Cross Diagonal” method is perhaps less common but has been evaluated in outside facilities and found to be very eective. The Cross diagonal method can minimize copper wire runs to a degree and can also serve as a tool in complex wiring schemes where space is at a minimum or system layouts are complex or irregular. For more information on cross diagonal wiring methods, and the beneﬁt of correct wiring conﬁgurations, refer to:

Mounting Hardware

The SimpliPhi Power Mounting Brackets (sold separately) are designed to secure one PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery to a load bearing surface. SimpliPhi Power Smart-Tech Batteries can be mounted in practically any orientation (Terminals Up, Down, On Side). The brackets can be mounted directly to a wall or can be arranged on strut channels for ease of positioning. A qualiﬁed installer should be familiar with accomplishing this with the appropriate load bearing requirements.

Mounting Bracket Hardware is also included: 1/4-20 x 5/8” Hex Washer Head Machine Screw - Slotted. 18-8 Stainless Steel

For ease of measuring, arranging and mounting your PHI Smart-Tech Battery array, a drawing of the PHI2.6™ Mounting Brackets with dimensions is provided (page 12):

During mechanical testing, individual PHI2.6™ Mounting Brackets were exposed to 200 pounds each of downward pressure along the bracket’s outer edge. During this test, a deﬂection of approximately 30 thousandths of an inch was measured. Combined bracket sets can easily bear weights in excess of 400 pounds. Bracket sets are designed to hold one PHI2.6™ Module, with a weight of 57.5 pounds.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Weight

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries weigh 57.5 pounds. The Wall Mount Bracket Assemblies weigh 8 Pounds. The SimpliPhi Power Mounting Brackets should be mounted into load bearing beams, studs or solid posts. Check with your installer to select an appropriate wall space or surface.

KEY POINTS

1. Each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells from overcharge, over-discharge, excessive charge and load amperage. If the values speciﬁed are exceeded, the Smart-Tech Batteries will enter a protective shut down state. In some cases this will result in the need to re-initialize an inverter charger or other pieces of equipment in the installation. Often, inverter system settings will be saved within the inverter memory storage and will not need to be reset. This is not an absolute standard but is common among most inverter chargers. Check your inverter manufacturer speciﬁcations.

2. If PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries enter a self protective mode, negligible voltage readings will be present until the units reset. In some instances, after a prolonged shut down, a charge might need to be manually applied to the energy storage bank. Should this occur, please contact SimpliPhi Power for technical support. The PHI Smart-Tech batteries are designed to remain robust and safe under most circumstances.

3. Although each PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferrous Phosphate cells from overcharge, over-discharge and excessive load amperage, the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries must always be installed with a charge controller and the appropriate settings to protect the PHI2.6™ from open PV and other high voltage sources. The PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery alone will not protect the batteries from these extreme electrical phenomena.

4. GRID TIED SYSTEMS: Once the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries have been installed, turn on the entire system to test, but once testing has been completed please disconnect the PHI2.6™

Smart-Tech Battery Bank from the load center until your local Utility Inspector is ready to turn on the entire system. The charge controllers and inverter monitoring systems can drain the

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries over an extended period of time when the entire system is not fully operational due to the electrical draw of the system components.

5. OFF GRID SYSTEMS: Do not connect the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries until the entire system is ready to turn on and is fully operational. Install with the 80 Amp breaker in the “OFF” position.

6. See Charge Controller Settings in the Appendix of this manual. PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are compatible with almost all Inverter Chargers and Charge Controllers. Please contact SimpliPhi Power for recommended settings for any device not expressly covered in this manual.

7. Only use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger if ancillary charging is required before installation, testing or troubleshooting. Failure to use a SimpliPhi approved LFP charger will damage the battery and void the warranty.

8. CAUTION: Charging PHI LFP batteries at temperatures below freezing.

Do not attempt to charge the battery below 32 F (0 degrees C). Attempts to charge at subfreezing temperatures can adversely aect SOH and cycle life, and will void the warranty.

If the battery must be charged at temperatures below freezing the rate of charge must be at no more than 5% of the battery’s rated capacity (C/20).

Connecting SimpliPhi Power PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries: Terminal Specs and Hardware

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOSEN THE LARGE BRASS NUT AT THE BASE OF THE TERMINALS.

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Connection Terminals

The PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are equipped with two 3/8’’ threaded studs with a lock washer and nut. The right hand stud resides in a red colored high temperature molded insert. This connection is for the positive lead. The left hand stud resides in a black colored high temperature insert. This connection is for the negative lead. Do not reverse polarity. It will void the warranty. Use a volt meter to check polarity

before connecting terminals.

Water Resistant Cable Boots are also included and will be in place when your units arrive. The boots are to be placed over the cable terminations and will stretch to form a water resistant seal around the base of the molded inserts and terminal connections.

| 14 |

Page 15

Connecting Cable Leads to the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries:

NOTICE: SPARK MAY BE PRESENT WHEN CONNECTING WIRES TO PHI2.6™ TERMINALS

A brief small spark is often present when connecting the second of two leads to a battery. Example: If the Positive has been connected, a small spark will likely be present when connecting the Negative lead. This is a normal occurrence. Complete all connections in a clean, ventilated, well lit area. To avoid any spark or electrical event when connecting the terminal leads on the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery, turn the 80 Amp breaker “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” position.

Power Cabling for the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery is not included. Your qualiﬁed installer or application speciﬁcations will determine the wire gauge for your system.

Considerations for Power Cable Terminations

- PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Mounting Stud Size: 3/8’’

- Power Cable Wire Gauge: Generally anywhere from 6 AWG to 2/0 AWG or larger.

High amperage rated ring terminals can be found for these and other common dimensions. Your installer can source these or we can provide them based on the speciﬁcations you provide.

Protection from the Environment

Anticorrosive compounds or epoxies are occasionally used in harsh or marine climate installations. Please contact your Electrician or Qualiﬁed Installer to determine if this is advisable, and if so, what solution best suits your application.

Final Connection of the Installation

Final installation and operation guidelines will be dictated by your Electrician and Installer based on the overall properties of and procedures for the equipment in your installation and any code requirements that apply to your region. SimpliPhi Power, Inc. technicians and sales sta are available to provide any additional information on the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery as needed. Please contact SimpliPhi Power for any technical support at your convenience. SimpliPhi Power, Inc. is committed to providing safe, reliable energy storage and management that is maintenance free, non-toxic and long-lasting. This commitment extends to our customers, valued installers, partners, and to the community at large. Please be aware of the potential electrical hazards before interacting with any and all electrical or mechanical devices. Please take all necessary precautions in your projects and installations. Please refer to page 4 for safety guidelines.

PHI Smart-Tech Batteries feature a Low Battery Voltage Cut O (LBCO). This is a self protection mechanism that prevents over discharge. The LBCO will cause the battery to turn o once batteries approach Zero Capacity or 100+ percent depth of discharge.

| 15 |

Page 16

Most, if not all, inverters have related features. These features are often referred to as “Load Disconnect”, “Load Shedding” or similar. These features are there to protect the battery bank from excessive discharge. In instances of low battery voltage, when there is no incoming energy to recharge the battery bank, the inverter will disconnect the load and remain in standby until the battery bank is recharged.

For O Grid installations, where charge energy is only provided by PV arrays, Inverter “Load Disconnects” are generally set at a value that will allow a system to remain online and in standby for at least 24 hours (10% at top of charge and 10% at bottom of charge). This allows a system to stay online until at least one full day of sun can recharge the battery bank.

In any application, o-grid or grid-tied, if your PHI2.6™ battery bank is reaching the LBCO, load disconnects or load shedding set points may need to be adjusted.

In case of LBCO, cycle the DC Battery Disconnect (inverter), in order to reset the system. Only complete this procedure when there is a charge source available, otherwise, the system will simply reach LBCO in a short time period and shut down again.

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 O-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 T1T8 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.

The primary materials (lithium, iron, phosphate) that make up PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech 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, NiCad, and NiMH batteries.

By Products

There are no toxic by-products associated with the assembly or use of PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries, such as o-gassing hydrogen, sulfuric acid spillage, lead contamination, or explosive chemicals.

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, PHI2.6™ SmartTech Batteries are maintenance free.

Life Cycles

PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries are designed for thousands of cycles while maintaining 80 percent or more of their initial capacity.

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.

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 oer 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 PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries, the extended cycle life and the signiﬁcantly smaller end-of-life footprint that results from the use of PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries.

Summary

The Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP) cells utilized throughout the entire PHI and LibertyPak product lines are classiﬁed as non-hazardous by OSHA and WHMIS. They are non-toxic, unlike NiMH, NiCad or Lead Acid types of batteries (including AGM). The PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech 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 PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech 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.
