Battery information
Data provision in accordance with EU regulation 2023/1542 performance, durability requirements and information on the state of health & expected lifetime of batteries.
This document, prepared in accordance with Articles 10 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries, outlines vehicle-specific performance and durability parameters. It also provides instructions for obtaining battery state of health information and for obtaining instructions on performing Battery Management System (BMS) software resets. The list applies exclusively to vehicle models introduced to the market after 18 August 2024.
Definitions
- ‘Rated capacity’ means the total number of ampere-hours (Ah) that can be withdrawn from a fully charged battery under reference conditions.
- ‘Capacity fade’ means the decrease over time and upon usage in the amount of charge that a battery can deliver at the rated voltage, with respect to the original rated capacity.
- ‘Power’ means the amount of energy that a battery is capable of providing over a given period under reference conditions.
- ‘Power fade’ means the decrease over time and upon usage in the amount of power that a battery can deliver at the rated voltage.
- ‘Internal resistance’ means the opposition to the flow of current within a cell or a battery under reference conditions, that is, the sum of electronic resistance and ionic resistance to the contribution to total effective resistance including inductive/capacitive properties.
- ‘Energy round trip efficiency’ means the ratio of the net energy delivered by a battery during a discharge test to the total energy required to restore the initial state of charge by a standard charge.

Information on the Prevention and Management of Waste Batteries (In accordance with Battery Regulation 2023/1542 Article 74)
At Verge Motorcycles, we are committed to ensuring our battery systems are used, maintained and disposed of in a way that minimises environmental impact and safeguards human health. This is part of our ongoing dedication to sustainability and compliance with the latest European battery legislation.
The Role of End-Users in Waste Prevention
End-users play a crucial role in preventing battery waste. By following good practices, you can extend the useful life of your motorcycle’s battery, reduce waste generation and contribute to a more sustainable future. We recommend:
- Optimal charging habits – Avoid frequent deep discharges; instead, maintain a moderate state of charge when the motorcycle is stored for extended periods.
- Environmental storage conditions – Lithium batteries perform best and last longer when kept between 15°C and 25°C. Where possible, store your motorcycle in an environment that meets these conditions.
Extending the use phase of your battery also supports future re-use, preparation for re-use, repurposing and remanufacturing – all of which help conserve resources and reduce environmental burden.
Separate Collection of Waste Batteries
If your Verge motorcycle battery reaches the end of its usable life, please do not dispose of it with household waste or as unsorted municipal waste. Improper disposal of lithium batteries can cause significant harm to the environment and human health, including:
- Soil and water contamination from toxic metals.
- Fire risks due to residual energy in discarded cells.
- Adverse health effects from exposure to hazardous battery materials.
To support proper collection and recycling:
- Contact the Verge Aftersales team at support@vergemotorcycles.com for process information.
- Our in-house take-back programme operates throughout EU member states during in-region activity. Our team will collect unwanted Verge battery packs to ensure environmentally responsible handling.
Battery Removal and Compliance
We have an established battery removal procedure, available upon request by emailing support@vergemotorcycles.com.
All Verge batteries carry the required markings in accordance with Battery Regulation 2023/1542 Article 13, including the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) symbol to remind end-users to dispose of batteries responsibly.
Our Commitment
From the regulation inception date onwards, every Verge Motorcycle invoice includes a zero-cost line item referencing battery repurposing/recycling. This reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and to reducing the harmful effects of lithium extraction and waste on both ecosystems and communities.
By working together, manufacturer and end-user, we can extend battery life, promote safe re-use and repurposing to ensure that no Verge battery becomes an environmental hazard.
