Dealing With Used Batteries
When the batteries in the automation system are dead they must be
disposed of in a battery return system or through public waste
disposal facilities.
Batteries should be fully discharged before disposal. A battery is
discharged when the function of the device is impaired due to
insufficient battery capacity.
When batteries for disposal are not fully discharged precautions must
be taken to prevent short circuits. For example by sticking tape over
the poles of the battery.
