The battery directive does not require CE marking.
RoHS does not *yet* require CE marking (not 'til Jan 2013 for Member
States to enact their legislation). The battery supplier may be
responding early?
The toy directive seems to have a scope that would rather clearly
exclude batteries {unless it has a picture of bugs bunny on it - winks
to John w.} But perhaps a battery could be considered an object of
'play' for someone 14 or younger.

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.

The new RoHS Directive, 2011/65/ED, requires CE marking. 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.

The CE Marking just means that a product meets all applicable new
approach directives. 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.

There are several directives where the CE mark would be required -
depends on end-use equipment/environment and battery capacity.
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?
Yes

I noticed a lithium battery with a CE marking on it.
Is EMC part of that CE Mark? Are there any EMC standards/requirements
for smart batteries?
