Battery Transport
The battery is tested according to UN docu-
ment ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev/3 Part III, subsec-
tion 38.3. It has effective protection against in-
ternal overpressure and short circuiting as
well as devices for the prevention of violent
rupture and dangerous reverse current flow.
The lithium-equivalent content in the battery is
below applicable limit values. Therefore, the
battery is not subject to national or interna-
tional regulations pertaining to dangerous
mediums, neither as an individual compo-
nent nor when inserted into a machine.
However, the regulations governing danger-
ous goods may be relevant when transporting
several batteries. In this case, it may be nec-
essary to comply with special conditions (e.g.,
concerning the packaging).

RIDGID service center for recycling. Your
local recycling center can also provide you
with additional drop-off locations.
