LMT battery field reference
LMT (Light Means of Transport) batteries cover e-bikes, e-scooters, e-mopeds, and similar micro-mobility vehicles. Their disclosure requirements are broadly a subset of EV battery requirements. This page describes the disclosures that matter for LMT batteries and their regulatory relevance.
The LMT category is identified on the DPP by categoryId (cat_bat_2) and its resolvable category_code (BAT-LMT-001), not by a *_BATTERY enum. See Battery categories for the authoritative category list.
For the response object shape, see DPP data model overview.
Disclosures required for LMT batteries
| Disclosure | Required | Regulatory relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon footprint | Yes | Required from the date of application of the relevant Commission delegated acts. |
| Recycled content | Yes | Recovered-material content for cobalt, lithium, nickel, and lead. |
| Cycle life and durability | Yes | Rated capacity, voltage, and cycle life. |
| Hazardous substances | Yes | Any substance present above 0.1% by weight. |
| Supply chain due diligence | Partial | Public policy reference shown; detailed sourcing is a restricted PoLI field. |
| Compliance | Yes | EU Battery Regulation conformity, REACH and RoHS status, certifications. |
On the DPP object, carbonFootprint, recycledContent, and reparabilityScore are top-level summary numbers, not nested objects. See the DPP data model overview for exact placement and types.
Key differences from EV batteries
LMT requirements are broadly similar to EV batteries, with two practical differences:
- Capacity scale — LMT products typically fall in the 0.25–2 kWh range. If you display capacity in Wh rather than kWh, convert accordingly and validate ranges in your integration.
- Round-trip efficiency — less consistently declared for LMT products than for EV batteries. Guard for a missing value before displaying it.

Restricted fields (PoLI access only)
Supply chain detail beyond the public due diligence policy reference is restricted and accessible only to entities with approved PoLI access. See PoLI endpoints.
