COMMISSION NOTICE Commission guidelines to facilitate the harmonised application of provisions on the removability and replaceability of portable batteries and LMT batteries in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 · European Union

The removability of portable and LMT batteries is understood to be possible when the battery can be safely taken out of a device by the end user or an independent professional, with or without the use of tools, avoiding damage to the battery and to the device. In turn, the replaceability of portable and LMT batteries means that the battery can be removed and replaced with another battery without damaging or destroying the battery or the device where it is incorporated. This, therefore, enables further operation without affecting the functioning, performance or safety of the device.
