Market changes create uncertainty for sellers and buyers. Our responsibility as a supplier is to identify the change early, prepare the supply chain and make the transition easier for our customers.
On August 5, 2026, Amazon Global Selling published an update regarding new lithium battery compliance requirements for Amazon Europe.
The important point for professional buyers is not simply “What is changing?” It is: “Will my next shipment still be ready for the market?”
Amazon states that the policy took effect from July 2, 2026, with non-compliant covered battery products progressively removed from September 30, 2026.
The policy specifically concerns the lithium battery itself, rather than finished electrical products powered by lithium batteries.
Read Amazon Global Selling’s official update →Amazon's published guidance identifies a clear implementation timeline. For businesses relying on rechargeable lithium batteries, preparation should begin before the compliance deadline becomes an operational problem.
The new lithium battery compliance requirements officially take effect in Amazon Europe, with implementation progressively covering affected sellers.
Amazon states that non-compliant covered battery products will be progressively removed from the marketplace.
For an Amazon seller, distributor, rental company or project buyer, compliance is not just a document issue. It affects the next shipment, product configuration, runtime, transportation and replenishment cost.
The Amazon update concerns covered rechargeable lithium battery products themselves. It should not be interpreted as an automatic ban on every finished LED product powered by a lithium battery. However, professional sellers should review the battery configuration and compliance documentation used in their supply chain.
Our answer is yes — we are already preparing for the transition. We expect to receive the first batch of new battery materials in early September, with products progressively moving to the upgraded lithium polymer configuration from September.
We are handling battery material upgrading and transportation preparation as one project. Relevant battery transportation testing and documentation are being arranged through Shenzhen Anbotek Compliance Laboratory Limited.
The purpose of the upgrade is not simply compliance. We are also increasing battery capacity to improve operating time and customer experience.
For customers entering the transition early, we can currently maintain the existing product price because we secured the initial battery raw materials in advance.
We have already started the battery configuration upgrade, secured initial battery materials and arranged the relevant testing and transportation documentation.
We are not treating the battery transition as a simple component replacement. We are using it as an opportunity to improve battery capacity, runtime, material selection and transportation preparation at the same time.
| Previous Configuration | Upgraded Configuration |
|---|---|
| 2200mAh 18650 lithium-ion battery | 2400mAh lithium polymer battery |
| 4400mAh 18650 lithium-ion battery | 5000mAh lithium polymer battery |
| Approx. 8–12h runtime | Higher capacity designed for longer runtime |
| Previous battery configuration | Updated battery and transportation preparation |
Our battery compliance preparation is supported by Shenzhen Anbotek Compliance Laboratory Limited. Anbotek's E-commerce Compliance Laboratory is officially recognized as an Amazon-authorized TIC laboratory and is a core service provider in the Amazon SPN network.
Its New Energy Laboratory also provides lithium battery transportation condition identification, including UN38.3, as well as SDS and related battery testing services.
We believe supplier responsibility starts before the customer asks whether a product is ready.
Move from the previous 18650 configuration toward higher-capacity lithium polymer battery solutions.
Arrange relevant battery testing and transportation documentation with a qualified third-party laboratory.
First new battery materials are expected in early September, with product configurations progressively updated from September.
Use our secured initial material supply to help early customers transition without an immediate product-price increase.
We secured the first batch of battery raw materials in advance. This allows customers entering the transition period to move toward the upgraded configuration while we maintain the current product price during this initial stage.
We are willing to absorb the initial minor cost increase ourselves because we believe customers should have time to adapt to the change rather than carrying the entire transition cost immediately.
As the wider market responds and battery material costs develop, future pricing will naturally be reviewed according to actual market conditions.
Available during the initial transition period while our secured battery material supply supports the program.
Contact us with your product, quantity and target delivery date to confirm the current configuration and price.
A reliable manufacturer should not wait until a regulation becomes a customer problem.
We believe our job is to monitor the market, identify changes, prepare the supply chain and give customers a practical path forward.
When battery requirements change, we upgrade. When transportation requirements become more demanding, we arrange the testing. When customers need time to adapt, we prepare materials early.
This is how we understand long-term cooperation: your business should not have to react alone.
Whether you sell on Amazon, operate an event-rental business, distribute LED products or manage hospitality and project installations, your battery configuration deserves a closer look before the next major order.
What battery technology and capacity does your current supplier use?
Can your supplier support the updated battery configuration with the relevant transportation documentation?
Will the upgraded configuration maintain or improve the actual operating experience?
Can your supplier maintain the same battery configuration and documentation for your future orders?
The market will continue to evolve. Platform requirements, transportation rules and battery technology will continue to change. We cannot control every market change — but we can control how early we prepare for it.
Our goal is simple: to make sure our customers have a reliable product, a prepared supply chain and a clear path forward before the market makes the change urgent.
Ask us about the upgraded battery configuration, available capacities, expected runtime, transportation documentation and current price protection during the transition period.
