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.
