2 State-of-the-art Energy Storage Backup for mission critical applications Ampd Silo is an ultra-compact, long-life and maintenancefree single-unit solution for energy storage in mission critical backup, renewable energy storage and energy demand management. Ampd Silo uses the latest, third-generation Li-ion technology that offers a superior ownership experience. Combined with Ampd s patent-pending technologies, the Ampd Silo reduces operational costs of power security systems by up to 80% over a ten-year period. Li-ion technology is incredibly durable. Unlike lead-acid batteries which need to be replaced every three to four years, the fully integrated energy storage batteries in Ampd Silo are expected to provide at least 70% of their original capacity over the first 2,000 cycles, even with 100% discharges. Ampd Silo's energy storage batteries are designed to provide years of reliable and replacement-free performance. More so, the energy storage batteries in Ampd Silo are truly maintenance-free, as all the maintenance is performed by sophisticated, built-in software and electronics systems. No water top-ups, ever. Li-ion has an ultra-high energy density of 555 watt-hours per litre, allowing each Ampd Silo to store 17 kwh in a footprint measuring just 600mm wide and 494mm deep, resulting in space-savings of up to 80% compared to lead-acid or nickel-cadmium technology. 2 Ampd Silo Energy Storage System: Maintenance-free Li-ion energy storage for mission critical backup

3 Proprietary technologies for safety and a truly maintenance-free operation Multiple, independent safety systems to ensure ultimate peace of mind From the cell-level Current Interrupt Device (CID), to Ampd's patent-pending cell-level microfuse, to the heavy-duty battery module protection enclosures, Ampd Silo has multiple active and passive safety systems to ensure absolute safety, even in worst-case-scenario conditions. Ampd Silo has been tested against rigorous, internationally recognised standards including: UL 9540, UL 1741, UL 1973 and UL 1642; CE (RoHS 2.0, LVD, EMI); and UN A truly maintenance-free design, right at the cell-level Thanks to the latest software and electronics systems and with a fault tolerant design, Ampd Silo's energy storage batteries are truly maintenance free. Unlike lead-acid batteries, Ampd Silo's batteries never need water to be added throughout its entire service life, under all possible operating conditions. Battery cell groups are balanced by a highpower passive, top balancing system to ensure maximum capacity and runtime availability. Fault tolerance built in. Ampd Silo's energy storage battery system allow for individual failure of battery cells, without materially affecting the performance of the overall system.

4 A perfect balance between footprint, power, safety and reliability A reduction in a 10-year total cost of ownership by up to 40% Due to the growth in the electric vehicle industry and advances in manufacturing, prices of Li-ion batteries, the building blocks of the Ampd Silo, have been fallen dramatically. For the first time, Li-ion as an energy storage medium can not only compete, but are more cost effective than the commonly used Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries, over the typical 10- year design life of a UPS. This arises from the fact that Li-ion batteries have far superior cycle life and DOD tolerance and therefore, are expected to provide usable capacity over the life of the UPS. Ampd Silo's batteries and its battery interconnects are also entirely weather sealed, eliminating cleaning requirements. Additionally, the combination of Li-ion tolerance to higher temperatures and Ampd's patent-pending thermal management technologies, Ampd Silo is able to run continuously at above-normal operating temperatures, reducing battery room cooling requirements and overheads. 4 Ampd Silo Energy Storage System: Maintenance-free Li-ion energy storage for mission critical backup

5 Ampd Silo Thermally optimised for long-term dependability Achieved by using the latest advances in materials science and computer aided engineering The Ampd Silo has been designed to run continuously, even in above-normal operating temperatures. This is achieved through Ampd Energy's proprietary breakthroughs in materials science, resulting in the development of novel thermal dissipation strategies, and the latest advances in computer simulation, which has allowed Ampd Energy's engineers the ability understand and account for complex convective interactions inside the Ampd Silo.

6 Runtime across various applications Achieving marathon runtimes through a high efficiency, energy dense energy storage battery Designed as a single, complete solution for interruptions to the electrical grid, Ampd Silo provides unrivalled operating runtimes compared to alternative battery-based systems. Ampd Silo is a single, turnkey solution that replaces both traditional UPS systems and backup generators. 10 person office 5 bed ICU ward 4 hours 1 6 hours 1 This is made possible because of the Ampd Silo's high energy density energy storage battery system, which contains 1,792 individual automotive Li-ion battery cells that are packed in a dense, honeycomb configuration. 3 bedroom household 400m, 60W LED lights 2-5 hours 1 6 hours 1 More so and unlike alternative battery-based systems, the Ampd Silo is designed to tolerate cycling at 100% discharges. The result: extended runtimes in a compact 600mm 494mm package. 1 Estimated runtime. Actual runtime will depend on multiple factors, including device state of health, age, state of charge, usage pattern, operating temperature and actual power draw. 6 Ampd Silo Energy Storage System: Maintenance-free Li-ion energy storage for mission critical backup

This is only possible because of the durability of Ampd Silo's energy storage batteries and their ability to operate without a 'memory effect', which in turn, allows for daily cycling.

Such a feature is especially useful in markets with time-of-use electricity pricing, allowing average savings of 40% 1 on electricity bills.

7 Beyond backup: Racing toward a zero-pollution, sustainable energy future Energy storage for intermittent power generators such as solar and wind By connecting Ampd Silo to a solar PV system or to a wind turbine, the Ampd Silo will function as a large buffer to provide a continuous supply of clean, dependable energy 24/7/365. Time shifting to reduce operating costs and maximise grid efficiency Another non-backup feature of Ampd Silo is its ability to store electricity at offpeak pricing levels, and consume the pre-stored electricity during times of the day when electricity pricing is high. This is only possible because of the durability of Ampd Silo's energy storage batteries and their ability to operate without a 'memory effect', which in turn, allows for daily cycling. With an energy storage capacity of 17 kwh, the Ampd Silo is able to provide hours of continuous power for any typical home or small business. Such a feature is especially useful in markets with time-of-use electricity pricing, allowing average savings of 40% 1 on electricity bills. Additionally, in most markets, electricity during off-peak hours is typically generated more efficiently. So by using electricity off-peak electricity during peak periods, users are actually reducing their CO 2 footprint, while saving money at the same time. 1 Average differential between on-peak and off-peak tariffs across a survey of 28 energy providers in Canada, USA, Australia, France and UK Ampd Silo Energy Storage System: Maintenance-free Li-ion energy storage for mission critical backup 7
