Battery
As a general rule, lithium-ion batteries are managed as universal waste under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. However, battery disposal regulations vary on national, state/
provincial, and installation levels. Disposal must be conducted in accordance with all applicable
regulations. ANY breached or leaking battery is managed as hazardous waste.
Before initiating the disposal process for the Li Expander Pak, it must be fully discharged. Consult
the local Hazardous Waste Storage Area (HWSA), Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office
(DRMO), or other local authorities for the standard operating procedure for packaging, quantity,
labeling, shipping, and tracking requirements. If an HWSA or DRMO is not available or does not
accept the Li Expander Pak, contact the servicing environmental compliance organization. Solar Stik
is also able to handle disposal of the Li Expander Pak at a cost to the
customer. Solar Stik can be contacted at 800-793-4364.
The Li Expander Pak contains recyclable materials, and recycling is encouraged over disposal if a
lithium battery recycling facility is available.
The box in which the replacement battery was shipped is UN rated and should be used to ship the
defective battery to the appropriate disposal location.
