I believe you are reading that correctly as EU directive 2006/66/EC pertains to batteries and accumulators, which is a RoHS-like directive that has its own marking requirement.

Could this be why there is a CE mark on the battery? Section 14 of the preamble indicates that the Directive does apply to batteries if I'm reading it correctly.

I've seen it on inflatable toys, and I'll bet my next paycheck that the EMC Directive was not considered. There is, however, a toy directive and they met the essential requirements for that one.

Apply EMC directive to the battery itself where uControllers is embedded, otherwise, the EMCD/tests are applied to the charger where specific battery models are specified in the report and D of C. Is what I do correct for all possible combinations of batteries/chargers/equipment? No Is what I do required by the customer?

Is EMC part of that CE Mark? Are there any EMC standards/requirements for smart batteries?
