Apple will do something to ensure only batteries from them work right, mark my words.

They tried doing this with the upcoming USB C cables but EU stepped in by making sure that every cable will work without any limitations on transfer and charging speeds.

I fully expect Apple claim that the EU is an environmental terrorist by having "disposable batteries being thrown out after their charge is depleted" and that somehow having batteries being certified by Apple prevents that.
