EPOS Powers-Up Battery Replacement Strategy To Stay Ahead of the Game
EPOS is ’ charging up’ a battery
replacement programme, to simplify a more sustainable future. As we advance all
new product launches will provide the option to replace batteries with a simple
paperclip or similar tool, rather than any complex or complicated procedures.
Søren Holm Printz, VP Corporate Strategy
& Product Management, says EPOS is committed to extending the lifespan of
its products by offering user-friendly battery replacement solutions across the
ANZ region and beyond.
“By enabling customers to easily replace
batteries, we help extend the product lifetime and reduce e-waste, supporting a
more circular product lifecycle.”
He added: “Battery replaceability is
integrated into EPOS product design from the earliest development stages
through to after-market support. This includes providing spare batteries and
clear, easy-to-follow guides to ensure safe and simple replacement and waste
management at product end-of-life. This approach has been a key part of EPOS’
design philosophy for many years.
“Today, most EPOS products feature
easily replaceable batteries. While some models require commercially available
tools, others support tool-free replacement. Since the introduction of our
first replaceable battery model in 2010, EPOS has sold thousands of spare
batteries annually, highlighting the value of this feature for our customers.
“In alignment with the EU Battery
Regulation (EU 2023/1542), EPOS is further simplifying battery replacement in
upcoming product launches. New product launches now offer straightforward
battery replacement only using just a paperclip or similar tool. Furthermore,
updated replacement multi-language guides are available, ensuring a seamless
experience for end-users. With these measures, EPOS will be fully compliant
with the requirements of the EU Battery Regulation by its effective date,
February 18, 2027.”
