3. Carbon Footprint
38.6 kg CO2e total
Total life-cycle carbon footprint of this battery (cradle-to-gate plus distribution, sample value).
76.6 kg CO2e / kWh
Per-kWh value: 38.6 kg CO2e ÷ 0.504 kWh of rated energy.
| Carbon footprint class | Class C (sample classification) |
|---|---|
| Raw material acquisition & pre-processing | 21.9 kg CO2e (56.7%) |
| Main production | 11.4 kg CO2e (29.5%) |
| Distribution | 3.8 kg CO2e (9.8%) |
| End-of-life & recycling | 1.5 kg CO2e (3.9%) |
Methodology note: Calculated in line with the Commission’s battery carbon-footprint methodology under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, using sample primary data for cell production and secondary database values for upstream materials. Study reference: CF-VR500-2026-041 (sample). All figures are illustrative.
4. Recycled Content
Share of recycled material in active materials, by mass (sample values):
| Cobalt | 16% recycled content |
|---|---|
| Lithium | 6% recycled content |
| Nickel | 8% recycled content |
| Lead | 0% — no lead in active materials (trace lead in electronics only) |
Post-consumer recycled share is declared per material above; pre-consumer (process scrap) is tracked separately in the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
5. Materials & Composition
| Lithium-ion cells (NMC) | 1.94 kg |
|---|---|
| Aluminium (housing & cathode foil) | 0.52 kg |
| Copper (anode foil & wiring) | 0.31 kg |
| Plastics (ABS/PC casing) | 0.38 kg |
| Steel & other metals | 0.14 kg |
| Electronics / BMS | 0.13 kg |
| Total | 3.42 kg |
Critical raw materials (over 0.1% by weight)
Lithium (approx. 62 g), cobalt (approx. 118 g), nickel (approx. 342 g), natural graphite (approx. 286 g) and manganese (approx. 124 g) — sample values.
Hazardous substances
Electrolyte contains lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in organic carbonate solvents, sealed inside cells. No mercury or cadmium intentionally added; cadmium < 0.002% and mercury < 0.0005% by weight. No substances of very high concern (SVHC) above 0.1% w/w declared for this sample other than the sealed electrolyte components noted in the safety data sheet (SDS-VR500-2026, sample).
Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol applies: do not dispose of in household waste.

Safety & extinguishing guidance
- Do not puncture, crush, open or expose to fire or temperatures above 60°C.
- If the battery smokes, swells or overheats: move away, do not use water on a burning lithium battery pack unless advised by emergency services; cool with copious water from a safe distance or use a Class D / lithium-rated extinguisher, and call emergency services.
- Extinguishing agent information for responders: water spray for cooling, dry sand for containment of a small cell fire.
- Use only the specified 42 V / 2 A charger. Do not charge unattended overnight.
End-of-life, collection & recycling
- Return free of charge to any VoltRide Europe dealer, municipal collection point, or battery collection scheme in the EU member state of purchase.
- Producer registration (sample): DE 88473920. Collection target and recycling information are provided under Articles 61–62 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
- Before return, discharge where safe, tape the terminals, and keep the battery dry and undamaged.
- Information for treatment facilities — dismantling: remove the 6 Torx T10 casing screws, disconnect the BMS lead first, then separate cells, aluminium housing and electronics for material-specific recycling. Full dismantling manual: DM-VR500-2026 (sample).
8. Supply-Chain Due Diligence
The economic operator (sample statement) maintains a battery due-diligence policy aligned with Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Chapter VIII, and OECD Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains. Cobalt, lithium, nickel and natural graphite are sourced only from suppliers assessed for human-rights, labour and environmental risks; high-risk sources are subject to third-party audit and grievance mechanisms.
| Due diligence policy | DD-POL-2026-03, published by VoltRide Europe GmbH (sample) |
|---|---|
| Third-party verification | Sample Verification Report VR-DD-2026-118, dated 10 July 2026 (fictional) |
| Risk management | Annual supplier risk assessment; corrective action plans tracked to closure |
