EnerChip Batteries: The Safe Alternative to Legacy Batteries and Supercapacitors

Cymbet EnerChip™ rechargeable Solid State Batteries (SSB) are created using semiconductor processing techniques on silicon wafers. The EnerChip devices are completely different from traditional batteries and supercapacitors that contain dangerous chemicals and have toxic waste disposal issues. New products that utilize EnerChip devices are freed from many of the assembly, transportation, use and disposal restrictions caused by using legacy energy storage technologies.

EnerChip Environmental Standards Compliance and Use Procedures Document

EnerChip rechargeable solid state batteries are a new class of battery. To understand the environmental and logistical advantages of using solid state batteries in electronic products, a Product Information Sheet has been prepared that covers the following standards and regulations:

Section I – Product Information Sheet Scope
Section II – RoHS
Section III – China RoHS
Section IV – REACH
Section V – CE Mark
Section VI – UL – Underwriters Laboratory
Section VII – JEDEC IC Packaging Standards and Tape and Reel EIA Standards
Section VIII – IEC, NEMA/ANSI
Section IX- United Nations Transportation Air Safety Regulations
Section X- WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
Section XI – EU Battery Directive
Section XII – MSDS and OSHA Information
Section XIII- EnerChip End-of-life Disposal Instructions
Section XIV – In vitro Biocompatibility Test Standards for Cytotoxicity

Cymbet has secured the following certifications and documents that demonstrate EnerChip™ solid state energy storage devices are different from traditional chemical based coin cell batteries and supercapacitors. Designers can confidently integrate EnerChip devices into their products knowing that there will not be any issues with manufacturing, transportation, operation or disposal that are different than other integrated circuits on the printed circuit board.

Product Change Notification Process

When any Cymbet product undergoes a change, Cymbet will provide notification via a Product Change Notice of any change that may affect fit, form, function or adversely impact product quality or reliability. Cymbet reserves the right to communicate a product change in two documents, initial and final. Product Discontinuance will also be communicated via the PCN process.

PCN content includes:

Detailed Description
Reason for Change
PCN Tracking Number
Product Identification (Part number with any applicable Date Code or Lot Code information)
Cymbet Contact Information
Anticipated impact (positive or negative) on Fit, Form Function, Quality and/or Reliability
Qualification Plan and Results (Data or Schedule if results are not available at time of PCN)
Changed Product Samples Availability Date
Proposed Date of Changed Product Shipment

Cymbet will request the acknowledgment of receipt of a Product Change Notification from notified parties. Contact information is provided in each PCN.

Cymbet reserves the right to make changes without notification when fit, form, function, quality and/or reliability are not affected. Cymbet is committed to the continuous supply of quality products. Cymbet evaluates, tests, qualifies and validates every change that is made to our products. If you have any questions on the Cymbet PCN process, please contact us using the Cymbet Support Form.

Product Discontinuation Policy

In the event any Cymbet product is commercially discontinued, Cymbet will provide a notification of Product Discontinuation (PD) via the PCN process. This Product Discontinuation notice will offer a Life Time Buy (LTB) opportunity for the product where applicable. Cymbet will document in the PCN when an order must be placed from the date of notification and the amount of time from the date of PD notice to take delivery of the ordered product. Cymbet will also identify a replacement product (if applicable) in the PCN and detail any differences between the discontinued product and the replacement product in terms of fit, form function, quality and/or reliability.

Cymbet will provide the following information in a PD PCN:

Detailed Description of Product Discontinuation
PCN Tracking Number
Cymbet Contact Information
Last Order Date
Last Product Delivery Date
Product Identification (Part number)
Identification of Replacement product, if applicable
