Disposal of batteries
This symbol indicates that batteries and rechargeable batteries
must not be disposed of with normal household waste. You are
legally obliged to hand them in free of charge at the end of their
service life at a public collection point or at the collection points set up
by distributors for recycling.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries that are not firmly enclosed by the
device and can be removed non-destructively must be separated and
disposed of as intended when discharged. Recycling waste equipment
and batteries is an important contribution to the protection of our en-
vironment. If disposed of improperly, toxic ingredients that have harmful
effects on the health of humans, animals and plants can enter the en-
vironment.
Below are some best practices and recommendations to extend the
life of your batteries and rechargeable batteries and allow them to be
reused:
- Charge your rechargeable batteries correctly and completely to ma-
ximize their life. If necessary, completely discharge them with a suitable
charger before recharging them.
- Consider the possibility of using rechargeable batteries. These can be
reused and recharged several times, reducing the amount of battery
waste.
- Always use the correct type of batteries for your devices. Improper use
can shorten the life of the batteries and have potentially harmful effects.
Always follow the safety instructions when handling used batteries.
Used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium) have a higher risk of fire.
Therefore, special attention must be paid to the proper disposal of used
batteries and rechargeable batteries containing lithium. Incorrect dispo-
sal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal
effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or
an explosion and have serious consequences for humans and the en-
vironment. To avoid a short circuit, tape off the poles or contacts of the
battery before disposal.
