what is untethered
Untethered is a exible workplace solution that gives teams the freedom to collaborate anywhere.
With the Untethered swappable battery system, you can localize power to your furniture, giving you
full control over where and how you work.
At the heart of this solution is the Untethered battery. e rechargeable lithium iron phosphate battery contains no nickel or cobalt,
which makes it near impossible to ignite in the event of mishandling. e battery also has a built-in electronic Battery Management
System, making it one of the safest and most ecient batteries on the market. With a 245Wh capacity, it can power an average laptop
with a power draw between 50-80W for 3-5 hours.
Charging is fast and easy with Untethered Mobile Charging Cart and Untethered Desktop Battery Charger. Charge up to 3 or 6
Untethered batteries simultaneously with a maximum charging time of 2-3 hours to full battery capacity. e Untethered Mobile
Charging Cart draws up to 250W at 120VAC per 3 charging bays. It can be plugged into a typical North American 120V wall outlet
without worrying about overage with a maximum of 12 batteries per single circuit.
Bring power with you in two ways: on its own with Untethered Mobile Power Post or mounted to movable furniture with Untethered
Furniture Adapter. Both Untethered Mobile Power Post and Untethered Furniture Adapter translate power from Untethered battery
into ready to use formats.
Swapping batteries is fast and easy. No need to wait for batteries to charge, just swap for a fresh one.

why lithium iron phosphate
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are a powerful and long-lasting energy solution for mobile and stationary power needs. With
exceptional safety and reliability, these batteries are ideal for a wide range of applications, from providing exible power in agile work
environments to being used as backup power systems. ey are a better option than lead-acid batteries for the environment because
they do not contain heavy metals or other toxic substances. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are also less likely to release toxic gasses
or ignite thanks to their chemistry, which further reduces their impact on the environment.
e primary benet of lithium iron phosphate batteries over other types of lithium-ion batteries is the cathode material. In extreme
temperatures, iron phosphate cathode is more stable and less reactive than the cobalt or nickel-based cathodes used in other lithium-ion
batteries. Iron phosphate cathode also produces a phosphorus-oxygen bond, a stronger molecular bond than the metal-oxygen bond in
other cathode materials. is bond hinders the release of oxygen and requires more energy and a higher on-set temperature for thermal
runaway. is makes lithium iron phosphate batteries safer (more stable when stored at full charge) and less prone to overheating or
catching re.
battery management system
Untethered's built-in Battery Management System (BMS) manages the charging and discharging of the battery, while continuously
monitoring its health to ensure safe and reliable operation. is system helps maximize the lifespan of the battery, allowing it to have
a long life cycle and an industry-leading 5year warranty.
Safety Features:
• Solid state sensors and state-of-the-art electronics keeps battery charging balanced throughout charge cycles, extending the life and
performance of the batteries over time
• Monitors rate of charge with built-in power surge protection
• Monitors temperature of individual cells in the battery pack to prevent overheating during operation and while charging
• Temperature controlled fan for high eciency

safety instructions
untethered battery
Read before operating the unit to prevent personal injury or damage to the unit.
Untethered Battery DTG-P1-NA-1XP-S0: Swappable Battery Pack has been tested and certied to meet or exceed the requirements within
UN ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev 6. Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III sub section 38.3 and IEC 62133:2012.
e guidelines provided below have been evaluated as "Means of Operator Protection (MOOP)".
1. To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, DO NOT OPEN battery. ere are no user-serviceable parts inside.
2. For service or repair, contact your Dealer to initiate return process.
3. For indoor use only.
4. Keep the unit away from moisture and water.
5. Secure the unit in a location where children are not likely to be present.
CAUTIONS:
• e battery does not have an ON/OFF switch. Remove the Untethered battery from Untethered Furniture Adapter or Untethered
Mobile Power Post when not in use as it will drain 0.5A from the battery even if no load is connected.
• When the voltage of the Untethered battery connected to the Untethered Furniture Adapter falls below 11.5V, its output will
switch OFF.
• During the battery swapping process, there will be a temporary interruption in the power output. As a result, the device(s) being
powered may turn o or switch to its internally stored battery power. It is recommended to have spare batteries charged and ready
to replace the depleted battery to minimize any potential downtime.
