10.5.8 Recycling Batteries

Lead acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable. Discarding
these batteries in the trash is considered “improper disposal”
and is illegal in most states. Old, used batteries are “hazardous
material” and MUST be recycled through an approved agency.
Contact your provider or Invacare on proper disposal and
recycling of your batteries.
