I found a summary of a Marketing Report on batteries (Report itself is $$$) which lists the following countries in Europe as major battery suppliers. (Given the countries are not in alphabetical order I am assuming that it is by some sort of production ranking)

Primary
Germany
France
United Kingdom
Italy
Spain
Secondary
Netherlands
Belgium
Sweden
Austria
Switzerland

Raw materials will be a problem but from my perspective France will be THE major source of batteries in Europe post TDM. Spain, Switzerland, and Sweden would be potential sources.
