Battery types and categories in the Battery Act

The Battery Act (BattG) regulates the placing on the market, take-back, and disposal of batteries and rechargeable batteries in Germany. It is based on the EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC, updated by the BattG2 of 2021. The law applies to all batteries, regardless of size, shape, chemical composition, or use—whether individually or installed in devices (BattG § 1 (1)). From August 2025, the BattG will be replaced by the Battery Law Implementation Act (BattDG).
