What happens if you miss the deadline
LMT batteries placed on the EU market after February 18, 2027 without a compliant battery passport will be non-compliant with Regulation 2023/1542. Market surveillance authorities can require market withdrawal, block imports at customs, and impose penalties. Enforcement is delegated to Member States — penalties vary by country but include fines and product seizure.
