SECTION 1: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
================================================================================

WooBattery Passport is a WooCommerce plugin that automates EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 compliance. It generates Digital Product Passports (DPP) - legally required digital records for batteries sold in the European Union.

The plugin solves a critical pain point: manually creating battery passport data for 75 products takes 18+ hours. WooBattery's Bulk Scanner does it in 10 minutes using AI-powered battery matching.
