Disposal considerations
• A lithium thionyl chloride battery does not contain any heavy metals, and is therefore
not regarded as special waste (contains only biodegradable parts).
• A used transponder lithium battery often contains a significant amount of residual
energy. It is the danger of explosion that presents a problem when disposing of
a battery.
– Used batteries must therefore be handled with the same care as new ones.
Caution
For safe disposal, contact the nearest local company that has been approved
to collect and dispose lithium batteries.
