Note on the disposal of used batteries

The following note applies to end users who use batteries or products with built-in batteries:

Free return of used batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be guaranteed. You can hand in used batteries at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also obliged to take back old batteries, although our obligation to take back is limited to old batteries of the type that we have or have had as new batteries in our own range. You can therefore either send old batteries of the aforementioned type back to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge directly to our shipping warehouse at the following address:

Meaning of the battery symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can. This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries that contain more than 0.0005 percent mercury by weight, more than 0.002 percent cadmium by weight or more than 0.004 percent lead by weight, the chemical name of the pollutant used is located under the garbage can symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
