You may need battery information online without needing a full passport

A wireless microphone, rechargeable intercom beltpack, portable speaker or battery-powered luminaire may be affected by the EU Batteries Regulation even if the battery is built inside the equipment.

A full battery passport applies only to specific categories; the wider QR-code information requirements apply to batteries in general.

Which route applies to your products?
