The Batteries Regulation is a new regulation that sets requirements for batteries and waste batteries placed in the EU market. It covers all types of batteries unless an exemption applies. In this guide, we explain when the regulation will begin to apply, and its differences from the prior Batteries Directive.
It is anticipated that similar exemptions will be sought and potentially granted for lead-acid batteries, particularly for automotive and industrial applications. Such exemptions could extend the usage of lead-acid batteries for up to seven years, suggesting a phased transition by the early 2030s.
You must also hold an environmental permit or exemption that allows this activity. You must only treat a waste lead acid battery containing POPs for the purpose of separating the POP containing plastic case materials for destruction.
You can continue to export lead acid batteries under your existing notification if you can prove the following to the Environment Agency. The POPs in the plastic are being destroyed in line with this guidance.
You may only temporarily store or repackage waste lead acid batteries containing POPs before: You must also sort lead acid batteries with polypropylene cases, that should not contain POPs, from those with other cases. You must also hold an environmental permit or exemption that allows this activity.
The regulations cover all types of batteries, regardless of their shape, volume, weight, material composition or use; and all appliances into which a battery is or may be incorporated. There are some exemptions including batteries used in:
