Digital battery passports, made by your own team.
You know your batteries better than any consultant. Batterypass shows your team the way: enter required data, import serial numbers, print QR labels. In the browser, without a major project.
18 February 2027.
The date is set.
From this day, every newly placed LMT battery, industrial battery above 2 kWh and EV battery needs its own digital passport. Time usually runs short not on the QR code but on collecting the data.
Three questions we hear in every first conversation.
Do we even need this?
That depends on category, capacity and your role. The obligation check settles it and lists all 22 obligations with deadline and article.
Start the obligation checkWhere do we get the data?
Most values are already in-house, just in different departments. Our guide shows for each item who has it and how to ask.
To the data sources guidePer model or per unit?
Per unit. But you maintain the data only once in the model; the individual passports then come from your serial number list.
How it worksFour steps your team can do itself.
Create a model
You maintain the master data once per battery model. Batterypass guides you through the mandatory information from Annex XIII – matched to your battery category.
- Mandatory fields per category: LMT, industrial, electric vehicle
- Later obligations such as carbon footprint are marked as such
Close the gaps
The model shows what is missing. You get these values from data sheets, test reports and your suppliers and enter them whenever they arrive.
- You can save at any time, even with gaps
- Missing fields are linked directly
Import serial numbers
Upload your serial numbers as CSV from Excel or your ERP. Each unit automatically gets its own passport with a unique identifier.
- Thousands of passports in one run
- Duplicates and format errors are shown before the import
Publish
You print label sheets or download individual codes. A scan opens the passport page in German, English or Chinese. Non-public data stays locked.
- Labels in three sizes, codes as SVG and PNG
- Status and events per battery
Look in each morning and know which model is stuck.
For each model you see progress as a percentage and jump to the missing fields with one click.
One scan, but not everyone sees the same.
Annex XIII divides the passport into three levels. Click through what customer, recycler and authority may see under the regulation. In the app the public level is open and the rest is locked; access for authorised parties is in progress.
Manufacturer, category, model, place and date of manufacture, weight
Capacity, voltage, expected lifetime, temperature range
Chemistry, hazardous substances, critical raw materials, recycled content shares
Symbols, EU declaration of conformity
Materials of cathode, anode and electrolyte
Instructions, part numbers, safety measures
State of health, usage data, events
Results of tests proving conformity
Simplified illustration. The exact assignment of the data is defined in Annex XIII of the regulation.
One passport accompanies the battery from production to recycling.
Manufacturing
Model and master data are in place, units are serialised.
Placing on the market
The passport is online, the QR code is on the battery.
from 18 Feb 2027Operation
Status and events keep the passport up to date.
Repair
Logged as an event – the passport stays the same.
Second life
Repurposing or remanufacturing: new passport, linked to the old one.
new passportRecycling
Recycling ends the passport.

Questions about the digital battery passport.
What is the digital battery passport?
An electronic record for an individual battery, reached by QR code. It holds data on manufacturer, materials, performance and life cycle, and is mandatory from 18 February 2027 under Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
Which batteries does the obligation cover?
LMT batteries, for example from e-bikes and e-scooters, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, which include home storage, and EV batteries. Portable and starter batteries need no passport.
Who has to create the battery passport?
The economic operator placing the battery on the EU market. That is usually the manufacturer, the importer for imported goods and generally the brand itself for private labels. Software may handle the technical side, but the responsibility remains.
What does a digital battery passport cost?
With Batterypass the first 25 passports a year are free. The Starter plan costs €139 a month for up to 2,000 passports, around €0.83 per passport. With Pro and 25,000 passports it is around €0.21.
Do I need a passport for stock?
What counts is whether the individual unit was first made available on the EU market before 18 February 2027. If so, it needs no passport. Units placed on the market later do.
Does the QR code have to use GS1 Digital Link?
The regulation requires a unique identifier and a QR code leading to the passport. GS1 Digital Link is a common standard for this. Batterypass passport addresses currently use their own identifier. If your customers expect GS1, talk to us before printing.
Start with one model.
One model and 25 passports a year are free. That quickly shows you which data you are still missing.
