SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Adhere to applicable laws, regulations and guidelines when disposing of the batteries.
A lithium thionyl chloride battery does not contain any heavy metals, and is therefore not
regarded as special waste (it contains only biodegradable parts).
A used lithium battery can contain 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.
Note
For safe disposal, contact the nearest local company that has been approved to collect
and dispose of lithium batteries.
SECTION 14: Transport information
Transportation of the cNODE MiniS LF must take place with adherence to applicable
laws, regulations and guidelines; including those who address the transportation
of dangerous goods in all modes of transport. To comply with regulations for air
transportation, the battery must have 30 % or less remaining capacity.
The battery is certified according to UN 38.3.
