DISPOSAL
DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
As they contain no mercury, lead or cadmium, the disposal of the lithium batteries recommended in
this manual is not regulated by European Community Directive 91/157/EEC on “Batteries and
Accumulators Containing Certain Dangerous Substances”.
However, individual countries may also establish regulations that cover the disposal of waste
batteries. These may be more stringent that EC requirements. Thus, local regulatory authorities
should be contacted for their disposal guidelines.
In the absence of specific regulations or guidelines the following is recommended for the disposal
of lithium batteries.
Up to five lithium batteries can be disposed of with other general waste.
