The EU gives final green light to removable batteries in mobile phones from 2027 on.

The regulation also establishes a calendar for the recycling of batteries from different devices

The European Council has given the green light last Monday to the new regulation[1] that will make it easier for consumers to change portable batteries in mobile phones and other electronic devices from 2027[2] on, for which date they must be easily removable by users. With this, the Twenty-seven support the provisional political agreement reached last December with the European Parliament on new rules for the design, production and waste management of all types of batteries sold in the EU. The regulation will be signed by the European Council and the European Parliament before it is published in the Official Gazette of the EU and enters into force 20 days later.

This standard aims to create a circular economy for batteries by addressing all stages of the life cycle of these products, from design to production and waste treatment. This initiative is of great importance, since the demand for batteries is expected to increase tenfold in 2030.

The regulation establishes that portable batteries incorporated into devices must be removable and replaceable by the end user by 2027 at the latest, allowing sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

“Batteries are key to the decarbonisation process and the EU shift towards zero emission modes of transport. At the same time, end-of-life batteries contain many valuable resources[3] and we need to be able to reuse those critical raw materials instead of relying on third countries for supplies. The new standards will promote the competitiveness of the European industry and guarantee that the new batteries are sustainable and contribute to the ecological transition”, said Teresa Ribera, third vice president of the Spanish Government and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, at the meeting of Ministers of Energy and Environment held in Valladolid.

The regulation will apply to all batteries, including all waste portable batteries; from electric vehicles; from industrial devices; permitting to start, light-up and ignite (SLI), mainly used for vehicles and machinery, and for light means of transportation, such as electric bicycles, electric mopeds and electric scooters.

Circular economy

The new rules aim to promote a circular economy by regulating batteries throughout their life cycle. Therefore, the regulation sets requirements for end of life, including targets and obligations for collection, as well as for material recovery and extended producer responsibility.

The regulation establishes targets for producers to collect portable battery waste (63% by the end of 2027 and 73% by the end of 2030), and introduces a specific collection target for used batteries for light means of transport (51 % by the end of 2028 and 61% by the end of 2031). In addition, there is a target for the recovery of lithium from used batteries (50% by the end of 2027 and 80% by the end of 2031). The latter can be modified by delegation of authority depending on the market and technological advances and the availability of lithium. It also includes mandatory minimum levels of recycled content for industrial batteries, SLI and electric vehicles (16% for cobalt, 85% for lead, 6% for lithium and 6% for nickel.

Finally, the regulation introduces labelling and information requirements, among other things, on battery components and recycled content, and an electronic 'passport' and QR code. In order to give Member States and economic players on the market enough time to prepare, the labelling requirements will have to be applicable from 2026 and the QR code from 2027.

L3Harris' advanced electronic warfare (EW) Viper Shield set is proving that it is more than up to the challenge. During the recent Drop 2 integration event at the Lockheed Martin Systems Integration Laboratory, the Viper Shield demonstrated full radio frequency compatibility with the APG-83 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar aboard the F-16.

The tests included continuous exposure of the Viper Shield with APG-83 energy for more than 12 hours to test whether radar pulses would interfere with the functionality of the EW assembly. The test proved the ability of the Viper Shield to filter signal processing streams from APG-83 radar pulses without any performance impairment.

In short, the Viper Shield passed the test and demonstrated perfect interoperability, which means that the customer will enter the battlefield protected by the most advanced EW and radar features available.

“Situational awareness is essential to the success of the mission, especially in highly dynamic and unpredictable situations,” said Patrick Creighton, vice president and general manager of L3Harris Electronic Defensive Solutions. "When these two systems work together, they are able to detect and protect effectively against threats like never before."

The Drop 2 event marked the second interoperability test for the two systems; the first occurred in mid-2022, with equally successful results.

“These tests continue to highlight the advanced capabilities of the Viper Shield and the ability to smoothly integrate with the on-board systems of the F-16,” Creighton said. "All this results in more effective missions in the coming decades."

The success of Viper Shield is already spreading around the world, with several international partners already committed to the system, and many other air services around the world also involved in discussions about Viper Shield.

Introduced in 2021, the Viper Shield EW was custom designed to provide EW protection and offensive features in the fourth-generation Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 70/72 multifunction aircraft. Software-defined technology components create a virtual electronic shield around the aircraft, revealing digital radar threats and providing robust countermeasure capabilities in a fully integrated and internally assembled system.

With lower life cycle costs, easier upgrades, greater reliability and reduced weight, the Viper Shield sets a new industry standard as the highest performance, lower risk and most cost-effective EW system for advanced F-16.

For customers, this service enhances convenience by ensuring that returns are processed quickly and efficiently. For businesses, it improves cost-effectiveness by optimizing the entire reverse logistics process. Partnering with a Reverse Logistics Company UK allows businesses to focus on their core activities while leaving the complexities of returns and recycling to the experts.

Enhancing Customer Experience with Last Mile Delivery Service

The final step in the delivery process, known as last mile delivery, is critical for customer satisfaction. A Last Mile Delivery Service focuses on delivering products from the distribution hub directly to the consumer's doorstep. This stage is often the most challenging and expensive part of the delivery process, but it is also where customers expect the highest level of service.

A well-executed Last Mile Delivery Service is key to improving delivery times, reducing costs, and enhancing customer experience. By using advanced technology, logistics companies can track deliveries in real-time, optimize routes, and ensure that packages arrive on time. This level of efficiency is crucial, particularly in an era where customers expect rapid delivery.

Moreover, offering flexible delivery options, such as scheduled delivery times or the ability to track deliveries through mobile apps, is essential for meeting customer expectations. Businesses that invest in a robust Last Mile Delivery Service are more likely to retain loyal customers and improve their overall competitiveness in the market.

The Future of Logistics in the UK

As consumer demands continue to evolve, the logistics industry in the UK is poised for further innovation. Services like 2 Man Delivery Service UK, IT Asset Disposition Companies, Reverse Logistics Company UK, and Last Mile Delivery Service are just the beginning of a larger trend toward more specialized, efficient, and sustainable logistics solutions.

Companies that stay ahead of these trends by embracing the latest technology and best practices will be best positioned to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Whether it’s through optimizing delivery routes, ensuring secure disposal of IT assets, or improving the returns process, businesses must adapt to the changing needs of their customers.

Conclusion

The logistics landscape in the UK is evolving rapidly, with businesses now relying on a variety of specialized services to meet customer needs and environmental standards. From a 2 Man Delivery Service UK that handles large and heavy items with care, to IT Asset Disposition Companies ensuring secure and eco-friendly disposal, to Reverse Logistics Company UK helping businesses manage returns and recycling, the role of logistics companies has never been more important.

In summary, while Li-ion batteries are favored for their energy density and robustness, LiPo batteries are often selected for applications where weight, size, and flexibility are paramount.

Do LiPo Batteries Need a BMS?

Lithium polymer batteries are typically used with a Battery Management System (BMS), which is essential for ensuring their safety and longevity. Here are key reasons why a BMS is necessary for LiPo batteries:

1. Voltage Management Individual Voltage Monitoring: A BMS controls the voltage of each cell, ensuring it stays within the safe range (usually between 3.0V and 4.2V) to prevent overcharging or over-discharging. Balance Charging: The BMS balances the voltage across cells during charging, prolonging battery life by avoiding overcharging or overdischarging of individual cells. 2. Temperature Protection Temperature Monitoring: The BMS monitors the battery’s temperature during operation, automatically stopping charging or discharging if temperatures exceed safe limits, thus preventing overheating. 3. Overcurrent Protection Current Control: A BMS prevents excessive current flow during charging and discharging, which can cause overheating and damage. It automatically cuts off the circuit when current exceeds a safe level. 4. Overcharge and Overdischarge Protection Overcharge Protection: The BMS prevents overcharging by monitoring voltage levels and ensuring that the battery does not exceed safe limits, mitigating risks of thermal runaway or explosion. Over-discharge Protection: Prevents the battery voltage from dropping too low, which can damage the battery and reduce its lifespan. 5. Short Circuit Protection Short-Circuit Detection: In the event of a short circuit, the BMS quickly detects the fault and cuts off the current, preventing dangerous situations. 6. Condition Monitoring Real-Time Monitoring: The BMS provides users with real-time data about battery status, including remaining charge, health, temperature, and voltage, allowing for informed usage decisions.
