The Regulation entered into force on 17 August 2023 and repeals the Batteries Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). It continues to restrict the use of mercury and cadmium in batteries and introduces a restriction for lead in portable batteries. It also aims to: reduce environmental and social impacts throughout the entire battery life cycle.
The target cannot be placed on individual products: for instance, the level of secondary lead in individual lead-acid batteries varies from >50 to 100%. For the entire industry, the best estimate is 85% of secondary lead used in new battery manufacture.
The Commission proposes that existing restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in all battery types are maintained, in particular for mercury and cadmium. Furthermore, as of 1 July 2024, rechargeable industrial and electric vehicles batteries with internal storage placed on the Union market will have to have a carbon footprint declaration.
The new EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 entered into force on 17 August 2023 and covers the whole lifecycle of batteries from production to reuse and recycling. While the Battery Regulation is already in force, further legal documents will be published in the coming years specifying certain aspects of the implementation (see timeline below).
Regulation should be applicable to batteries covered by this Regulation in order to ensure that products bene fiting from the free movement of goods within the Union fulfil requirements providing a high level of protection of public interests such as human health, safety of persons and the environment.
The global demand for batteries is increasing rapidly and is predicted to have a 14-fold increase by the year 2030. To minimise the environmental impacts of this growth and considering changes in society, new technological developments, markets and the uses of batteries, the European Commission proposed a new Batteries Regulation in 2020.
Battery autonomy estimation method applied to lead–acid batteries …
The main disadvantage related to the use of lead–acid batteries is its degradation (aging), that occurs as a function of discharge cycles, depth of discharge, charging voltage, and ambient temperature [13], [14].Thus, the estimation of autonomy is a useful tool to anticipate problems related to energy supply.

The point of zero charge for silica is at about pH=2. At higher values of pH (>2), the surface is negatively charged due to the presence of ( SiO ) groups on the surface of the silica particle. At lower values of pH (<2), the surface is positively charged as a result of the ionization of silanol groups ( SiOH 2 +). The H + ion also functions as a catalyst in the formation of siloxane …
