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​

DisclosureRequiredRegulatory relevance
Carbon footprintYesRequired from the date of application of the relevant Commission delegated acts.
Recycled contentYesRecovered-material content for cobalt, lithium, nickel, and lead.
Cycle life and durabilityYesRated capacity, voltage, and cycle life.
Hazardous substancesYesAny substance present above 0.1% by weight.
Supply chain due diligencePartialPublic policy reference shown; detailed sourcing is a restricted PoLI field.
ComplianceYesEU 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:

  1. 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.
  2. Round-trip efficiency: less consistently declared for LMT products than for EV batteries. Guard for a missing value before displaying it.

Regulatory thresholds​

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.
