Notice on the Disposal of Used Batteries

The following information is intended for end users who use batteries or products containing batteries and do not resell them in the form in which they were supplied:

1. Free Return of Used Batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back used batteries, limited to the types we currently stock or have previously stocked as new batteries. You may return such used batteries to us by sending them with sufficient postage or by delivering them free of charge to our shipping warehouse at the address listed in the legal notice.

2. Meaning of Battery Symbols

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