battery pack.

Battery Transport

The battery is tested according to UN document ST/
SG/AC.10/11/ Rev/3 Part III, subsection 38.3. It has ef-
fective protection against internal overpressure and
short circuiting as well as devices for the prevention of
violent rupture and dangerous reverse current flow.
The lithium-equivalent content in the battery is below
applicable limit values. Therefore, the battery is not
subject to national or international regulations pertain-
ing to dangerous mediums, neither as an individual
component nor when inserted into a machine. How-
ever, the regulations governing dangerous goods may
be relevant when transporting several batteries. In this
case, it may be necessary to comply with special condi-
tions (e.g., concerning the packaging).

Battery Disposal

For USA and Canada: The RBRC™

Corporation) Seal on the battery
packs means that RIDGID has al-
ready paid the cost of recycling
the lithium-ion battery packs
once they have reached the end
of their useful life.

veloped programs in the USA and Canada to collect
and recycle rechargeable batteries. Normal and re-
chargeable batteries contain materials that should not
be directly disposed of in nature, and contain valuable
materials that can be recycled. Help to protect the en-
vironment and conserve natural resources by return-
ing your used batteries to your local retailer or an au-
thorized RIDGID service center for recycling. Your local
recycling center can also provide you with additional
drop off locations.

bat teries must be recycled according to the guideline
