Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (1722) or the full path ("Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Power > Batteries > Camera Batteries"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 1722, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Camera Batteries
What is the Google product category ID for Camera Batteries?
1722. The full path, "Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Power > Batteries > Camera Batteries", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Camera Batteries available?
No. Camera Batteries is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 1722 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Camera Batteries sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Batteries (276). The chain from the top is Electronics → Electronics Accessories → Power → Batteries → Camera Batteries. If your product does not belong under Batteries, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Camera Batteries is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Batteries first — there are 11 other categories at this level: Cordless Phone Batteries (1880), E-Book Reader Batteries (7551), General Purpose Batteries (4928), Laptop Batteries (1564), Mobile Phone Batteries (1745), MP3 Player Batteries (499810), and 5 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Batteries (276) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Camera Batteries compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 12 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
