Best EU Battery Passport Software in 2026: 9 Platforms for the February 2027 Deadline

Last updated: October 21, 2026

From 18 February 2027, each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh and each electric vehicle battery placed on the EU market needs a battery passport, under Article 77 of the Batteries Regulation. Not one per model: one per battery. If you sell e-bikes, e-scooters, home storage or industrial packs, you need software that can create passports per unit, enforce three levels of access and collect data that mostly sits with your cell supplier.

This guide covers what battery passport software has to do, how to tell the platforms apart, and nine vendors worth looking at. For the full legal picture (scope, the 71 data points, who's responsible), start with our EU battery passport compliance guide. We make Veribl, one of the platforms below. Facts about other vendors come from their own websites as of October 2026, and we say where another vendor is the better fit.

What Battery Passport Software Has to Do

The battery passport is the first Digital Product Passport with a fixed date, and its requirements are more specific than a general product passport. Before you compare vendors, check each one against these six jobs:

1. One passport per battery. Each unit has its own unique identifier and its own passport, reachable through a QR code on the battery. Software that only creates one page per model won't do.
2. Three access levels. Annex XIII sorts the data into what's public, what's for persons with a legitimate interest (repairers, remanufacturers, second-life operators, recyclers) and what's for notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission. The software has to show each reader only what they're allowed to see.
3. All the Annex XIII data. The Commission's 2026 guidance counts 71 data points, of which 54 are mandatory for LMT batteries, 51 for EV batteries and 36 for industrial batteries over 2 kWh at the deadline. Most of them, such as cathode, anode and electrolyte materials, recycled content shares and carbon footprint, come from your cell and material suppliers.
4. Updates over the battery's life. When a battery is repurposed, re-used, remanufactured or becomes waste, its status changes, and the passport has to follow it.
5. Records you can stand behind. You're responsible for the data, so you need to know where each value came from and be able to show it wasn't quietly changed.
6. Machine access. Recyclers, repairers and authorities will increasingly read passports by system rather than by phone, so look for a data API and machine-readable formats.

The biggest variable between platforms is job 3: how much of the supplier data work the software does for you.

The Platforms

Veribl

Best for: e-bike, e-scooter, LMT and home battery brands that need passports per unit before February 2027, without an implementation project or a data team.

Veribl creates a battery passport for each unit at its own GS1 Digital Link address, with every Annex XIII field sorted into its access level: public, legitimate interest and authorities. Repairers, recyclers and other parties can be given access links, and systems can read unit data through an API. The battery's status (original, repurposed, re-used, remanufactured, waste) can be updated over its life, and every published version is signed and chained, so any later edit would show.

The supplier side is where Veribl is different. Most of the battery data sits with your cell supplier. Vera, the AI assistant in Veribl, checks which battery fields are still empty, works out which supplier can provide them and drafts a request listing the exact fields with the article of the Batteries Regulation behind each one. You approve it, and it goes to the supplier.

The supplier answers in the Veribl supplier portal. They sign in with a code sent to their email (no sign-up form, no password) and drop in the documents they already have: datasheets, test reports, declarations. The answers fill themselves in, each with the file, page and quote it came from, and anything they don't have, they mark as unavailable instead of leaving a gap you discover later. You review, approve, and the data goes into the passport. Suppliers keep their documents and answers in their own library on Veribl, with reminders before certificates expire, so the next request, from you or another brand they supply, takes a click.

Vera also reads what you already have. A bill of materials spreadsheet, a cell datasheet or a photo of a battery's rating plate becomes filled-in passport fields, and Vera only fills what the source actually states, then lists what's missing. Ask it whether a product needs a passport and it answers from the regulation's text, quoting the article.

One QR code, two audiences. The same code a market surveillance officer scans opens a page for your rider too: setup guides, charging and storage instructions, warranty registration and support, in their language. See Veribl for e-bikes and batteries.

Pricing: free plan for 100 products; passports from $29 a month. Vera is $19 per person a month, included for the whole team in the 14-day free trial. Self-serve: sign up and start the same day.

Not the best fit if: you need to prove material origin through every tier from mine to cell, with physical chain-of-custody tracking. Veribl collects and records what your suppliers declare. Circulor and Minespider are built for mine-to-cell provenance.

Circulor

Best for: automotive and large battery manufacturers that need material provenance from mine to cell.

London-based Circulor (founded 2017) is known for the Volvo EX90 battery passport, which it describes as the first full-scale one, and lists Volvo Cars, Lucid, Aston Martin and Ford Otosan as customers. It reports over 500,000 passports issued, launched Circulor 2.0 in July 2026 and announced a collaboration with Bureau Veritas the same summer. Pricing isn't published.

Minespider

Best for: brands whose passport depends on tracing raw materials through mining and refining.

Berlin-based Minespider focuses on minerals, metals and battery supply chains, with document collection, permissioned sharing and blockchain-backed chain of custody. Its 2026 announcements include a MineHub partnership, a Siemens Gamesa pilot and battery passports for the e-bike brand TENWAYS. Pricing isn't published.

Spherity

Best for: manufacturers that want passports built on verifiable credentials and integrated with Catena-X.

Spherity's VERA product, from Dortmund, uses W3C verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers, with templates, QR generation and a supplier onboarding portal. Batteries are its lead use case for passports. Pricing isn't published.

Siemens DPP4.0

Best for: industrial and battery manufacturers already working with Siemens systems.

Siemens offers battery passports built on the Asset Administration Shell and Catena-X standards, available as SaaS and licensed in company-size tiers by quote.

Circularise

Best for: battery, chemicals and automotive supply chains that need to share data confidentially.

Circularise (The Hague, founded 2016) combines supplier data collection with confidential sharing and mass balance traceability, and lists batteries among its main industries. Pricing comes from a configurator that ends in a tailored quote.

Kezzler

Best for: large manufacturers that need serialized IDs at high volume.

Oslo-based Kezzler offers item-level IDs, GS1 Digital Link and EPCIS 2.0 traceability, and lists battery passport templates among its 2026 platform updates. Gartner named it a Market Shaper in its 2026 DPP quadrant. Pricing isn't published.

Arianee

Best for: brands already using Arianee passports for other products.

Arianee runs an open-protocol passport platform whose compliance engine covers battery rules alongside ESPR and WEEE. It's strongest in luxury goods and appliances, including Fnac Darty's rollout. It sells through scoped pilots.

Narravero

Best for: mid-sized manufacturers that want consumer- and partner-facing passports hosted in Germany.

Narravero (Münster) lists SEINE Batteriesysteme among its customers and publishes starting prices: Plus from EUR 6,500 a year, Pro from EUR 8,000 a year, pilot from EUR 8,000.

How to Choose Battery Passport Software

If you're an e-bike, e-scooter or battery brand buying cells or packs from suppliers, your hard part is getting 50-odd data points out of those suppliers in a usable form, per unit, before February. Look hardest at the supplier experience and at how quickly you can publish your first unit passport.

If you're an automaker or cell manufacturer, with your own mining and refining supply chain to prove, you'll likely need a provenance specialist, and possibly a separate layer for the customer-facing side.

Either way, ask every vendor:

1. Show me a passport for one battery unit, with the public view and the restricted view side by side.
2. How does my cell supplier answer a data request? Can they upload their datasheets instead of retyping them?
3. Where does each value come from, and can I see the source document?
4. How do I give a recycler access to restricted data, and how is that access recorded?
5. How does the passport change when a battery is repurposed?
6. What does it cost at our unit volume, and how long until the first live passport?

And don't wait. Supplier data takes months, not weeks. Pick one battery line now, publish a passport for a few units, scan the QR codes with your own phones and fix what breaks while there's still time.
