13. DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
Customers should select an appropriate and responsible disposal method that satisfies state and
local requirements when disposing of lithium-ion batteries. Commonly available methods include
disposal and collection by a licensed waste company or recycling. Some states and communities

require specially mandated handling and disposal techniques. If you have any questions
regarding state or local disposal requirements, please contact your local environmental authority.
Batteries have residual electrical charge. Please be sure to completely discharge batteries

Valence Technologies.
If you are not sure if your waste facility can handle lithium-ion batteries, contact them and verify if
they are permitted or not.
