Battery Disposal Instructions
Information on battery disposal In connection with the sale of batteries or accumulators or with the delivery of devices that contain batteries or accumulators, POWER & STORAGE LiTec GmbH is obliged to inform you of the following in accordance with the battery ordinance: Batteries or accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste are given. As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries or accumulators. You can return batteries or accumulators free of charge after use at the point of sale or in the immediate vicinity (e.g. in municipal collection points or in shops). You can return batteries to POWER & STORAGE LiTec GmbH personally or by post/forwarding agency. Batteries or rechargeable batteries that contain harmful substances are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can. Next to this garbage can symbol is the chemical name of the pollutant. Cd stands for cadmium, Pb for lead and Hg for mercury. The symbol of the crossed-out garbage can on batteries or accumulators means that they must not be disposed of with household waste at the end of their service life. If batteries or accumulators contain mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb), you will find the respective chemical symbol below the symbol of the crossed-out garbage can. You are legally obliged to return old batteries and accumulators after use. You can do this free of charge at a retail store or at another collection point near you. Addresses of suitable collection points can be obtained from your city or local government. Batteries may contain substances that are harmful to the environment and human health. Particular caution is required due to the special risks involved in handling lithium-containing batteries. The separate collection and recycling of old batteries and accumulators is intended to avoid negative effects on the environment and human health. Please avoid generating waste from old batteries as much as possible, eg by giving preference to batteries with a longer lifespan or rechargeable batteries. Please avoid littering public spaces by not leaving batteries or battery-containing electrical and electronic devices lying around. Please explore ways to recycle a battery instead of disposing of it, such as reconditioning or repairing the battery.
