Disposal of the batteries
Never dispose of empty batteries and
rechargeable batteries with ordinary
household waste. They contain pollu-
tants such as heavy metals, which
can be harmful to the environment
and human health if disposed of
improperly, and valuable raw mate-
rials such as iron, zinc, manganese
or nickel that can be recovered from
waste.
As a consumer, you are required by
law to take them to your retail store
or to an appropriate collection site
depending on national or local regu-
lations in order to protect the envi-
ronment. The return service is free of
charge. You can obtain addresses of
suitable collection points from your
city council or local authority.
The symbols for the contained heavy
metals are:
Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead.
Reduce the generation of waste from
batteries by using batteries with a
longer lifespan or suitable recharge-
able batteries. Avoid littering the
environment and do not leave batter-
ies or battery-containing electrical
and electronic devices lying around
carelessly. The separate collection
and recycling of batteries and
rechargeable batteries make an
important contribution to relieving
the impact on the environment and
avoiding health risks.
WARNING!
Environmental and health damage
caused by incorrect disposal of
batteries!
WARNING!
Batteries containing lithium
can explode!
•
Batteries and rechargeable batteries containing
lithium (Li=lithium) present a high risk of fire and
explosion due to heat or mechanical damage with
potentially serious consequences for people and
the environment. Pay particular attention to
correct disposal.
