Replacement battery packs are sold standalone. There are also 3rd party battery packs that are not evaluated together with the end product by the end product manufacturer, and are therefore not included in the end product CE declaration.
My experience has been that notebook computer battery packs from the notebook manufacturers always carry the CE mark.

Wouldn't it be true that as a component the final assembly/product would need a CE mark, additionally it would be not appropriate to CE mark a battery as it is a subassembly or component?

Gert Gremmen Ce-test, qualified testing bv Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens [email protected] Verzonden: woensdag 5 augustus 2009 17:25 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Li-ion Question An off-the-wall question. It is my understanding that all Lithium Ion batteries (or other smart batteries) have digital circuitry in the for monitoring over-temp, etc during the recharging process. Do these batteries need to carry a CE marking because of this circuitry?
