Headset manufacturer EPOS has developed a new battery replacement program.
Copenhagen, Denmark – Headset and speakerphone manufacturer EPOS is ’charging-up’ a battery replacement program, to simplify a more sustainable future, ahead of new legislation coming into force, across parts of the world.
Going forward 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.
“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.”
The EPOS IMPACT 500 on-ear Bluetooth headset is the newest member of the product range, and part of the enhanced sustainability strategy, where just a paperclip is required. Furthermore, original equipment replacement batteries will remain available through EPOS and its partners for five years after a product is discontinued.
“As part of our long-term product sustainability strategy, EPOS is dedicated to extending the life of its solutions and maintaining reliable end-of-life product support, reinforcing its commitment to quality, sustainability and customer trust. This is complemented by ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems, which provides a framework for organizations to identify, manage and reduce their environmental impact while ensuring legal compliance,” Søren concluded.
