This page is the destination of the QR code marked on ATB batteries (Article 13(6) of the EU Battery Regulation). It gives access to the label information, the EU declaration of conformity, the information on prevention and management of waste batteries, and the supporting declarations issued by ATB Power as manufacturer for its valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (AGM and GEL ranges).
Issued by ATB Power Limited under its sole responsibility on the basis of the technical documentation held for the products. View online or download the PDF. Documents are revised when the products, the requirements or the evidence change; the date of the last update is printed on each document.

Lead is present above 0.1 % w/w as the active material; safe-use information; other Candidate List substances (253 entries, 4 Feb 2026) screened; SCIP data.
UN 2800, Special Provision 238: not subject to IMDG, IATA DGR (A67) or ADR (SP 238/598) when terminals are protected. Evidence and conditions of shipment.
Every mark on the battery and its legal basis: manufacturer identification, model and date code, separate collection symbol, Pb, CE, QR code, importer identification, symbol sizing.
Prevention, separate collection, take-back points, safe handling of waste batteries, meaning of symbols and environmental impact — Article 74(1), points (a) to (f).
Instructions and safety information accompanying the battery: hazards, first aid, storage, installation, charging settings for AGM and GEL, maintenance, transport and end of life.
GHS 16-section safety data sheet for ATB valve-regulated lead-acid batteries: composition, hazards, first aid, handling, transport (UN 2800, non-spillable) and disposal.
Full instructions: safety, receiving and storage, installation, charging profiles, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, transport and recycling.
The technical documentation behind these declarations (Annex VIII) stays with ATB Power. Market surveillance authorities receive it on reasoned request; customers who need extracts for their own compliance records can obtain them under a confidentiality agreement. Write to info@atbpower.com.
Model-specific values — model designation, date of manufacture, weight and capacity — are printed on each battery. The information common to the ranges is given here.
| Range | Construction / duty | Nominal voltage | Model designations | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GP | AGM, general purpose standby | 6 V, 12 V | GP6-1.3 to GP6-12; GP12-1.3 to GP12-260 | Industrial |
| DC | AGM, deep cycle | 6 V, 8 V, 12 V | DC6-220 to DC6-400; DC8-180, DC8-200; DC12-24 to DC12-260 | Industrial |
| FT | AGM, front terminal | 12 V | FT12-55 to FT12-200 | Industrial |
| HR | AGM, high rate | 12 V | HR12-37 to HR12-520 | Industrial |
| LC | AGM, lead-carbon long-life cyclic | 6 V, 12 V | LC6-300, LC6-400; LC12-12 to LC12-230 | Industrial |
| 2V | AGM, 2 V long-life cells | 2 V | 2V-100 to 2V-3000 | Industrial |
| SSL | AGM, start-stop automotive | 12 V | SSL1 to SSL6 | SLI |
| 2VG | GEL, 2 V cells | 2 V | 2VG-200 to 2VG-3000 | Industrial |
| DCG | GEL, deep cycle | 12 V | DCG12-24 to DCG12-240; DCG12-200T | Industrial |
Summary for end-users and distributors. The full text is in the End-of-Life Information document above.
Correct charger profile only: AGM float 13.5–13.8 V and cyclic 14.4–14.7 V; GEL float 13.6–13.8 V and cyclic 14.1–14.4 V (per 12 V at 25 °C, temperature-compensated). Recharge promptly, never store discharged, keep at 20–25 °C. Tested working batteries can be re-used in comparable applications.
End-users must discard waste batteries separately from other waste (Article 64). The crossed-out wheeled bin on the battery is the reminder. Never in fire or water.
The producer in your Member State takes back waste industrial and SLI batteries free of charge without any purchase obligation (Article 61); distributors take back the same category at or near their premises (Article 62). Ask your supplier or write to info@atbpower.com.
Upright, dry, ventilated; terminals covered against short circuit; never open, crush or incinerate; cracked cases expose dilute sulphuric acid — gloves and eye protection. No lithium in ATB lead-acid batteries: do not mix with lithium collection.
Crossed-out bin: separate collection. Pb: contains lead above 0.004 %. CE: manufacturer’s declaration of conformity. QR: this page. Full guide in the Label and Marking document.
Lead is toxic and bioaccumulative; the electrolyte is corrosive. Improper discarding contaminates soil and water. Recycling recovers the lead in a closed loop: at least 75 % recycling efficiency for lead-acid batteries from 2026 and 90 % lead recovery from 2028 (Annex XII).
