Battery Passport Technical Design (Article 78)
Article 77 says what the passport is; Article 78 says how it must work. A short article that dictates the entire architecture of a passport platform.

The Battery Passport for Turkish Battery Manufacturers
From lead-acid battery exporters to lithium-ion cell investors, the EU Battery Regulation treats each Turkish segment differently. What to do before 2027.

Passports for E-bike and E-scooter (LMT) Batteries
LMT batteries enter passport scope on the same day as EV batteries; but the pack is small, margins are thin and the supplier is usually in Asia. The problems are different.
Battery
The Battery Pass Data Model and Catena-X
Annex XIII says what the passport contains, not the unit, data type or definition. The models that fill that gap, and how a platform reduces them to one canonical model.

Second-Life Batteries and Passport Continuity
A battery that no longer suits the vehicle is not finished. The regulation makes second life a defined process, and the passport is handed over in it, not deleted.
Battery
Battery Passport Granularity: Cell, Module, Pack
The passport belongs to the individual battery, not the model. The modules and cells underneath the pack are a separate design question for identity and data.

Access Roles and Tiers in the Battery Passport
The battery passport is not one page but three views. The implementing act defining "legitimate interest" is expected at the end of 2026; design role-based access today.

Battery Labelling: QR Code, Symbols and CE Marking
Labelling duties arrive in stages: the separate collection symbol in 2025, the general information label in 2026, the QR code opening the passport in 2027. Which element, which battery, when?

Battery Supply Chain Due Diligence and the Passport
Four raw materials, four pillars: policy, risk management, third-party verification, public reporting. Regulation 2025/1561 moved the date to 18 August 2027; the report enters the passport by 2028.

Recycled Content in Batteries (Article 8)
Documentation in 2028, first minimum shares in 2031, a second step in 2036. Calculating the share is easy; proving the material really came from waste is hard.
Battery
The Battery Carbon Footprint Declaration (Article 7)
The battery carbon footprint arrives in three steps: declaration, performance class, maximum threshold. The EV methodology delegated act is still pending and the date moves with it.

Battery Passport: Which Batteries, Who Is Responsible?
EV, LMT and industrial batteries above 2 kWh are in; portable and SLI are out. How is responsibility split between cell maker, pack integrator, vehicle OEM and importer?

AAS and the Catena-X Ecosystem
Industry 4.0's digital twin standard has become the carrier of the DPP in automotive.

Battery State of Health and Dynamic Data
The battery passport is not static: usage data has to be updated for life. This is the hardest part of the architecture.

Battery Passport Annex XIII Data Fields
Around 90 mandatory attributes across three access tiers. Which field sits where, and which apply when.

The DPP in Automotive and Catena-X
Automotive has the most mature DPP ecosystem. For component suppliers that means demand arrives before regulation.

The Battery Passport (EU Battery Regulation)
The battery passport is the earliest DPP to take effect. We examine this obligation, which arrives under a separate regulation, and its scope.
