FAQ
Battery passport, frequently asked
The questions manufacturers and importers ask most about the EU battery passport.
When is the EU battery passport mandatory?
From 18 February 2027, every LMT battery, industrial battery over 2 kWh, and electric-vehicle battery placed on the EU market must carry a battery passport, under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (the EU Battery Regulation). The obligation applies to batteries placed on the market after that date — including units manufactured earlier.
Do I need one battery passport per model or per physical battery?
Per physical battery. Article 77(1) requires each individual battery to have its own passport with a unique identifier. A single passport covering a model or a production lot is not compliant. Our generator issues one passport per battery item, linked to its model and lifecycle.
Who is responsible — the manufacturer or the importer?
The economic operator placing the battery on the EU market. If you import batteries into the EU, the obligation is yours even if the cells were made elsewhere. Manufacturers selling directly into the EU are equally responsible.
What data has to be in the passport?
Battery identity and model, chemistry and technical specs, carbon footprint, recycled content, supply-chain due-diligence information, and lifecycle/state-of-health data — organised into Annex XIII access tiers (public, legitimate interest, authorities, and the Commission). Each field is exposed only to the audience the regulation allows.
How long does it take to create a passport?
Most users go from sign-up to a published passport with a printable QR code in under 15 minutes. There is no sales call and no integration project — you enter your battery data, and the compliant public page plus QR are generated for you.
How much does a battery passport cost?
It is self-serve and priced per passport volume rather than as an enterprise contract. See the pricing page for current tiers. There is no minimum commitment and no implementation fee.
