Battery Accessories
The Google product category ID for Battery Accessories is 7166. It sits under Power and has 5 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 5 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Battery Accessories is second largest of the 12 categories under Power, with 5 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Battery AccessoriesBattery Charge Controllers
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Battery Charge Controllers (6817) on level 5: Battery Accessories › Battery Charge Controllers. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7166) or the full path ("Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Power > Battery Accessories"). 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. Before sending it, check whether one of the 5 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
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.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 7166 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Power > Battery Accessories |
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, 7166, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Battery Accessories
5 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 5 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Battery Accessories continues any further, so one of those 5 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Battery Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Battery Accessories?
7166. The full path, "Electronics > Electronics Accessories > Power > Battery Accessories", 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.
Should I use Battery Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Battery Accessories has 5 directly below it, starting with Battery Charge Controllers (6817), Battery Holders (8243), Camera Battery Chargers (3130), and 5 in total further down. 7166 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Battery Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Power (275). The chain from the top is Electronics → Electronics Accessories → Power → Battery Accessories. If your product does not belong under Power, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Battery Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Power first — there are 11 other categories at this level: Batteries (276), Fuel Cells (2978), Power Adapter & Charger Accessories (6933), Power Adapters & Chargers (505295), Power Control Units (6790), Power Strips & Surge Suppressors (3160), and 5 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Power (275) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Battery Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Battery Accessories is Battery Accessories > Battery Charge Controllers, ending at Battery Charge Controllers (6817) on level 5. Not every branch below Battery Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Battery Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 12 at its level, carrying 5 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.
