Information on the battery act [BattG]
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
do not belong in household waste, but
must be collected or disposed of sepa-
rately!
• For safe removal of primary batteries or recharge-
able batteries from the electrical appliance and
for information on their type or chemical system,
please refer to the additional information in the op-
erating or assembly instructions.
• Owners or users of primary batteries and recharge-
able batteries are legally obliged to return them af-
ter use. The return is limited to household quanti-
ties.
• Old batteries may contain pollutants or heavy met-
als that can harm the environment or human health.
Recycling old batteries and using the resources
they contain helps to protect these two important
issues.
• The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin means that
primary batteries and rechargeable batteries must
not be disposed of with household waste.
• If the signs Hg, Cd or Pb are also located below the
dustbin symbol, this stands for the following:
- Hg: Battery contains more than 0.0005% mercu-
ry
- Cd: Battery contains more than 0.002% cadmium
- Pb: Battery contains more than 0.004% lead
• Rechargeable batteries and primary batteries can
be returned free of charge to the following places:
- Public disposal or collection points (e.g. munici-
pal works yards)
- Sales points for primary batteries and recharge-
able batteries
- Take-back points of the common take-back sys-
tem for old device batteries
- Take-back point of the manufacturer (if not a
member of the common take-back system)
• These statements are only valid for rechargeable
batteries and primary batteries sold in the coun-
tries of the European Union and subject to the Eu-
ropean Directive 2006/66/EC. In countries outside
the European Union, different regulations may ap-
ply to the disposal of rechargeable batteries and
primary batteries.
Removing the rechargeable battery before dis-
posing of the appliance
• The integrated rechargeable battery must be re-
moved before disposal of the appliance and dis-
posed of separately in an environmentally friendly
manner.
• Mask off the contacts and package the recharge-
able battery such that it cannot move in the pack-
aging. Please observe any additional national reg-
ulations.
