Overview

What Is a Battery Passport?

A battery passport is a digital record mandated by EU Regulation 2023/1542 that must accompany every LMT battery, every industrial battery with a capacity above 2 kWh and every electric vehicle battery placed on the European market. It provides a complete data profile of the battery, accessible via a QR code throughout its lifecycle.

The passport must contain the data points defined in Annex XIII of the regulation (37 once Annex VI Part A is unpacked), covering the battery's composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, performance characteristics, supply chain due diligence, and end-of-life handling instructions. Check your own data against all 37 with the free gap checker.

Battery passports are the first product category to require Digital Product Passports under the EU's sustainability framework. They serve as the template for all other product categories that will follow under the ESPR regulation.
