The European Union’s new Battery Regulation ((EU) 2023/1542) represents a clear commitment to product longevity and consumer repairability. A cornerstone of this forward-thinking legislation is the requirement that portable batteries must be designed so they can be easily removed and replaced by the end-user using conventional tools. This mandate is set to be enforced for portable batteries by February 2027.
The Longriver E12 is designed to meet this future standard today.
Future-Proof Design: The Removable Battery Advantage
The E12 Portable Speaker features a removable 18650 battery, giving end-users direct control over the product’s life cycle. This preemptive design choice aligns with the core principle of the EU regulation—reducing electronic waste and guaranteeing the consumer's right to repair. By offering a user-serviceable battery, the E12 ensures you don't have to discard the entire speaker when the power cell eventually degrades, guaranteeing exceptional long-term value.
Brands that offer real solutions and transparency build trust with their audience,. The E12’s design is a transparent commitment to durability and sustainability.
