The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) Seal on the
lithium-ion battery (or battery pack)
indicates that the costs to recycle the battery
(or battery pack) at the end of its useful life
have already been paid by Porter Cable.
In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal
solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Porter Cable
and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and
Canada to facilitate the collection of
spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect
our environment and conserve natural
resources by returning the tool to an
authorized Porter Cable service center
for recycling. You may also contact your
local recycling center for information on
where to drop off the spent battery, or call
