Industrial battery · NMC532 · 32.2 kWh · CE · Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

This page is the digital record of one individual battery pursuant to Art. 77 and Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. It is reached through the QR code on the battery housing or directly at https://id.batteries.eu/2023-01-51210-0025/. The underlying field list is documented in the battery passport requirements.

Applicability: under Art. 77(1) the battery passport is required for batteries placed on the market or put into service from 18 February 2027. The example battery shown here was placed on the market in 2023 and would not yet be covered; the carbon footprint performance class (from 18 August 2027 at the earliest — Art. 7(2) third subparagraph — or 18 months after the entry into force of the delegated act and the implementing act under the fourth subparagraph, whichever is later), the minimum recycled shares (from 18 August 2031), the “separate collection” symbol (from 18 August 2025) and the QR code (from 18 February 2027) likewise did not yet apply to it when it was placed on the market. This version illustrates the structure of a passport under the law as it will apply from 2027.

Level 1 — model information (public)

a) General information

Annex VI Part A of the Regulation. This information also appears on the physical label on the battery.

Critical raw materials as mass fractions of the whole battery:

b) Material composition

• Cell chemistry: lithium-ion, NMC532 cathode Li(Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2)O₂, graphite anode, organic carbonate electrolyte with LiPF₆ as conducting salt
• Further components: polyolefin separator, aluminium cathode collector, copper anode collector, aluminium module housing, steel housing
• Hazardous substances (other than Hg/Cd/Pb): LiPF₆
• Critical raw materials: see the table in a)

c) Carbon footprint

Preliminary estimate: the Commission delegated act laying down the calculation method under Art. 7(1) fourth subparagraph point (a) has not yet been adopted. The calculation follows the essential elements of Annex II, mostly with secondary data; a public study and an independent verification are not yet available.

Breakdown by life cycle stage (Annex II, point 4):

d) Responsible sourcing

Annual due diligence report: Report open — no reporting year is on record yet (see notes).

• Steps taken to fulfil due diligence obligations (Art. 49 and 50): Evidence open — the due diligence report is not yet available.
• Adverse impacts identified (Annex X, point 2): Evidence open — findings from the supply chain review have not been established yet.
• Independent verification under Art. 51: evidence open — no verification is on record yet.
• Access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters: Evidence open — the information will follow with the due diligence report.

e) Recycled content

Evidence per model, year and manufacturing plant pursuant to Art. 8(1).

The values for cobalt, lithium and nickel do not reach the minimum shares applicable from 18 August 2031 (Co 16 %, Li 6 %, Ni 6 %; Art. 8(2)). Whether the minimum share for Pb (85 %) applies remains open until the lead content has been established.

f) Share from renewable sources

0 % of the mass of this battery consists of materials from renewable sources (bio-based materials such as lignin), taken as the mass of renewable material divided by the total mass of the battery.

g) Rated capacity

100 Ah

h) Voltage

valid in the temperature range −20 °C to +55 °C

i) Original power capability

• Continuous power 48.3 kW
• Peak power 48.3 kW
• Power limits: full power from 0 °C to +45 °C, reduced outside that range
• Operating temperature range: −20 °C to +55 °C
• Ratio between nominal power and energy: 1.5 W/Wh
• Power at 80 % and 20 % state of charge: limited by the battery management system to 150 A at both, so the power follows the battery voltage. Cell pulse power (10 s, +25 °C): 843.8 W at 20 %; 80 % not specified (882.1 W at 50 %, 931.5 W at 90 %).

j) Expected lifetime in cycles

2 000 full cycles until the capacity threshold, measured under the cell manufacturer’s procedure (1.2 C / 1.0 C, +25 °C, DOD 80 %).

k) Capacity threshold for exhaustion

Not applicable — Annex XIII, point 1(k) applies to electric vehicle batteries only; no capacity threshold for exhaustion is to be given for this industrial battery.

l) Temperature range in idle state

−20 °C to +45 °C (storage, transport; tested under UN 38.3, cell test report ZHLD20211103U01 of 12 January 2022).

m) Commercial warranty for the calendar life

5 years from entry into service (additionally limited to an energy throughput of 40 MWh). Remaining capacity at the end of the warranty period at least 80 %.

n) Round trip energy efficiency

o) Internal resistance

p) C-rate of the cycle-life test

1.2 C / 1.0 C (charge / discharge)

q) Labelling

Annex XIII, point 1(q) refers to Art. 13(3) and (4):

• Art. 13(3) (labelling of non-rechargeable portable batteries) — not applicable to this rechargeable industrial battery.
• Art. 13(4) — the “separate collection” symbol under Annex VI Part B is applied to the battery. Size: 5.0 × 5.0 cm — the maximum permitted under Art. 13(4), as 3 % of this battery’s largest side face would exceed it.

Further physical markings on the housing (informative — other legal bases):

Art. 13(5) (chemical symbol Cd or Pb above 0.002 % cadmium or above 0.004 % lead): evidence open — the cadmium and lead contents have not been established yet.

r) EU declaration of conformity

Open — the EU declaration of conformity following the model in Annex IX, which is to state that fulfilment of the requirements of Art. 6 to 10 and 12, 13 and 14 has been demonstrated, is not yet available.

s) Waste prevention and waste battery management

Mandatory information under Art. 74(1)(a)–(f):

• Role of end-users in waste prevention: charge between 20 % and 80 % SOC, avoid deep discharge and prolonged storage at extreme temperatures, keep the software up to date. In the event of a defect, have a diagnosis carried out before replacing the battery. Possibilities of re-use, preparing for re-use, preparing for repurposing, repurposing and remanufacturing: open.
• Role in separate collection (Art. 64): waste batteries of this category must not be put in household waste or other waste streams (Art. 64(1)); they must be handed in at a designated collection point (Art. 64(2)); if a waste battery is still built into the machine or installation, a specialist must remove it before hand-in.
• Available take-back, collection and treatment: only the manufacturer, Sunlight Group Energy Storage Systems, takes back waste batteries of this category, free of charge. Please arrange the return with the manufacturer (notes). Preparing for re-use and preparing for repurposing: open. The treatment operator has not yet been determined.
• Safety instructions for handling: in case of visible damage, odour, smoke or heating, do not touch the battery, keep a safety distance of at least 5 m and call the fire brigade, stating “lithium-ion battery”. Store damaged batteries only in non-combustible containers in the open air. Lithium-ion batteries carry the risk of thermal runaway.
• Meaning of the symbols on the battery (Art. 13): crossed-out wheeled bin – separate collection required; CE – conformity with Union law; QR code – reference to the battery passport.
• Effects of the substances contained: on contact with moisture, LiPF₆ reacts to form hydrofluoric acid (HF), which harms the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Improper disposal may lead to soil and water pollution. Evidence that this battery does not contain mercury above the limit value of Annex I (0.0005 %) or cadmium and lead above the labelling thresholds of Art. 13(5) (0.002 % and 0.004 % respectively) is open.
