Notice Regarding Disposal of Used Batteries

The following notice is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and do not intend to resell them in their delivered form (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 return used batteries to a local collection point or to a local retailer. We, as battery distributors, are also obligated to take back used batteries, but our obligation is limited to batteries of the type that we offer or have offered as new batteries in our product range. You can either send back batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or drop them off free of charge at our shipping warehouse, as indicated in the imprint.

2. Meaning of Battery Symbols

Batteries are marked with a crossed-out trash bin symbol (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 harmful substance is located below the trash bin symbol - "Cd" for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
