What happened?
Amazon recently issued a lithium battery compliance policy update to some sellers. The update is scheduled to roll out in batches starting September 30, 2026, with completion expected by November 16. It covers single-cell and multi-cell battery packs, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, lithium polymer batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, rechargeable button-cell batteries, and lithium batteries supplied with or intended to replace devices. Affected products also include power banks, portable chargers, drone batteries, power tool batteries, replacement batteries for electronic products, and battery-powered devices. Under the updated requirements, sellers must add the model, part number or product number, and manufacturer or brand name to product detail pages. Amazon may also require sellers to submit third-party testing, inspection, and certification materials. If product information is missing, the model does not match, or certification documents cannot be verified, the affected products may be restricted from sale or sellers may be required to resubmit compliance documents.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Products such as power banks, portable chargers, drone batteries, power tool batteries, and battery-powered devices must include the model, part number or product number, and manufacturer or brand name on their detail pages. During the phased rollout, review the information in advance and prepare any third-party testing, inspection, and certification materials that Amazon may request; otherwise, products may be restricted from sale or require document resubmission.
What should sellers do now?
- 1This week, screen listings for power banks, portable chargers, drone batteries, power tool batteries, and battery-powered devices. Check the model, part number or product number, manufacturer, and brand fields one by one, create a list of missing items, and complete the additions.Listing character checker
- 2Create folders for third-party testing, inspection, and certification materials by product model. Verify that each document matches the model on the corresponding listing, retain submission-ready files for every affected product, and flag missing or unverifiable items.Listing Optimizer
