Notice on the Disposal of Used Batteries

The following notice is addressed to those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and do not resell them in the form delivered to them (end users):

1. Free Return of Used Batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. You are legally obligated to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can drop off used batteries at a municipal collection point or local retailer. We, as distributors of batteries, are also obliged to take back used batteries, but our obligation is limited to used batteries of the type that we currently carry or have carried as new batteries in our range. You can therefore either send used batteries of the aforementioned type back to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge directly at our shipping warehouse at the address given in the imprint.

2. Meaning of Battery Symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out trash bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005% by weight of mercury, more than 0.002% by weight of cadmium, or more than 0.004% by weight of lead, the chemical symbol of the respective hazardous substance is shown below the trash bin symbol – "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
