content: Varta sells small Lithium cells and is available through Mouser, last I checked. Some of their cells have IEC62xxx cert.I was wrong. Mouser doesn't sell batteries to end customers in the UK.

content: I have been in touch withhttps://www.aceongroup.com/over some lithium batteries packaged with protection circuits and connectors. I haven't started purchasing yet but I've found them knowledgeable. Prices are, as expected, higher than Aliexpress. I don't imagine this will surprise you. They assemble small quantities in the UK and larger quantities in China.RS also sell them, They have a very small range and high prices.I sawhttps://www.jauch.com/en-GB/homeat a trade fair. They seem to be best suited to large quantities of custom cells.

content: Might be worth getting in touch with Alpha Micro, they do batteries. I've had several from them, but can't remember off-hand what the exact paperwork was for them.The website doesn't say much, but drop them an e-mail or call. They are very helpful.https://alphamicro.net

content: dtpbattery.comNot western company cells, but they have a TON of sizes and some have what they claim to be certs. I've ordered 1000s qty from them before and they all worked well.

content: Pouch cells are pretty annoying to design things around... there's very little standardisation in sizing, find the capacity you want in a particular size and then if suddenly that specific seller stops selling that model any other options you find for the same (or larger) capacity will have different sizes, usually larger in one particular dimension than your original was, so not fun if you're trying to design something which fits a tight space.
