How to Dispose of the Battery
Batteries should be collected for disposal in a manner to prevent short
circuiting, compacting, or destruction of case integrity and hermetic seal.
ATTENTION: Do not incinerate or dispose of lithium batteries
in general trash collection. Explosion or violent rupture is
possible.
For disposal, batteries must be packaged and shipped, in accordance with
transportation regulations, to a proper disposal site. The U.S. Department
of Transportation authorizes shipment of “lithium batteries for disposal” by
motor vehicle only in regulation 173.1015 of CFR49 (effective Jan. 5,
1983). For additional detailed information, contact:
U. S. Department of Transportation
Research and Special Programs Administration
400 Seventh Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20590
Although the United States Environmental Protection Agency at this time
has no regulations specific to lithium batteries, the material contained in
the battery may be considered toxic, reactive, or corrosive. The person
disposing of the material is responsible for any hazard created in doing so.
State and local regulations may exist regarding the disposal of
these materials.
