Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1670 of 16 June 2023 laying down ecodesign requirements for smartphones, mobile phones other than smartphones, cordless phones and slate tablets pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/826 (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

Battery management: manufacturers, importers or authorised representatives shall include an optional charging feature selectable by the user which terminates the charging process automatically, when the battery is charged to 80 % of its full capacity. When this feature is enabled, manufacturers, importers, or authorised representatives may enable the device to periodically fully charge the battery for the purposes of maintaining accurate battery state of charge estimates. The user shall be informed automatically when charging the device for the first time or during the installation process, that the life span of the battery can be extended if the feature is selected and the battery is regularly charged only to 80 % of its full capacity; manufacturers, importers or authorised representatives shall provide a power management feature which by default ensures that once the battery is fully charged there is no further charging power supplied to the battery unless the charge level drops below 95 % of its maximum charge capacity.
