Are DIY'ers subject to the same EU regulations when building things for their own use, i.e. not actual products intended for sale? Example: I wish to import raw battery cells and build an Off-Grid solar system.
What about non-rechargeable AA single use lithium batteries? They never seem to indicate a capacity in (m)Ah ? Would that not be a requirement? Or are they not considered batteries? Problem with buying those cells is that you have no idea what you're paying for.
Imagine if Indonesia didn't sell raw/semi-finished nickel to Europe? That's why the European Union is suing Indonesia at the WTO because it doesn't want to sell raw materials for batteries..What will ?What happened was just a lawsuit at the WTO and criticism from the IMF....
I'm sorry I can't quite understand what website you are referring to after you discuss the standards... right around 4:10

Thanks a lot for the information, I have one question, is it required to mark the CE marking on the battery pack?
yes
Have you produced the equivalent for the UK?
No, and I don't think there is an equivalent (yet)
That said, there are safety standards that do also apply in the UK, but the framework is different
