Replaceable Batteries Starting in 2027: Key New EU Requirements That Device Manufacturers and Developers Need to Consider Today

Which products are affected, which exemptions apply, and why manufacturers should already be designing for Battery replaceability The European Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 has been in effect since February 18, 2024. Many companies are already addressing labeling requirements, technical documentation, conformity assessments, and new information obligations. However, additional requirements will be introduced gradually. An important

Measurement and Control Engineering: Power Supply and Timing as Key Success Factors for Precise, Long‑Lasting Systems

Measurement and control engineering forms the foundation of modern buildings as well as energy, environmental, and emissions technology. Wherever temperature, pressure, humidity, emissions, or flow rates must be reliably measured and automatically controlled, sensors, controllers, and communication modules ensure stable processes—often in 24/7 operation and under demanding conditions. Building automation, smart metering, heating and air

Battery Memory Effect: What’s Behind It – and Is It Still Relevant Today?

The so‑called Battery Memory Effect is one of the most well‑known phenomena in Battery technology—and at the same time one of the most frequently misunderstood. Many users still assume that rechargeable Batteries must always be fully discharged. In reality, this assumption applies today to only a very limited number of technologies. What Is the Battery

Why Batteries for Asset Tracking Are So Challenging — and How Jauch Solves It

Tracking devices used for monitoring goods — commonly referred to as asset‑tracking devices — are often small, difficult to access, and expected to operate reliably for many years. Whether mounted on construction equipment, installed in harsh desert environments, or exposed to salty ocean air on a cargo vessel, they must perform flawlessly.At the heart of

UN 38.3: New regulations for the air transport of lithium batteries from 2026

Lithium batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives – whether in smartphones, laptops, or industrial applications. However, transporting them carries risks that can lead to mechanical damage, thermal stress, or short circuits, which can lead to overheating and, in extreme cases, thermal runaway. To mitigate these risks, the United Nations regulates the

Why smart metering is the future of energy supply and why nothing works in this area without reliable frequency components and stable power sources

Everyone is talking about “smart metering”. But what exactly is this buzzword all about? And why would this technology be pretty much useless without frequency-stable clocks and reliable power sources? By “smart metering”, we are talking about a technology that monitors and analyzes energy consumption in residential and commercial facilities in real time. “Smart meters”
