PAT only applies to mains kit, no mains nothing to test. ...

I don't think that is true. How about an emergency lighting system fed
by a bank of batteries at 230v?

They contain 12V rechargeable batteries and two enclosed halogen
lights (12W). Other than that they are empty boxes. There is no mains
connection.

In that case, there is very little electrical risk, so a risk assessment
will show that they may not need testing, but, there is a fire risk even
with 12v, and especially with 12v halogens.
