Battery disposal instructions

Information obligation in accordance with the Battery Act (BattG)

Since you can choose from a variety of modern storage systems (batteries) or a battery- or rechargeable battery-powered product in our product range, we are obliged under the Battery Act (BattG) to inform you of the following:

Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in household waste; you are legally obligated to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries. Used batteries may contain hazardous substances that can harm the environment or your health if not stored or disposed of properly.

Batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled.
After use, you can either return the batteries to us or return them free of charge to a collection point in your immediate vicinity (e.g., in stores or municipal collection points).
The return of used batteries to retail outlets is limited to the usual quantities for end users and to those types of used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried as new batteries in its product range.

The symbol with the crossed-out trash can means that you must not dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in household waste.
Under this symbol you will also find the following symbols with the following meanings:

Pb: Battery contains lead

Cd: Battery contains cadmium

Hg: Battery contains mercury

We would like to remind you that as an end user, you are legally obligated to return used batteries.
All batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out trash can.
