Hi Scott:
I agree with John. All batteries wear out. A battery is replaceable either by the user or by a serviceman. For this reason, the battery (or the product or both) must be marked so that the battery can be replaced by an identical or equivalent battery. Same as the reasoning for fuse marking. However, for some products, the battery lifetime is the product lifetime. In such a product, battery identification markings need not apply, but disposal markings would apply.
