ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL

WARNING
• All toxic materials must be disposed of in a specified manner to prevent contamination of the
environment. Before disposing of damaged or worn out lithium-ion batteries, contact your local waste
disposal agency or the local Environment Protection Agency for information and specific instructions.
Take batteries ready for disposal to a Lowe's Recycling Center or a local recycling and/or disposal
center, certified for lithium-ion disposal.
• If the battery cracks or breaks, with or without leaks, do not recharge it and do not use. Dispose of it
and replace with a new battery. Do not attempt to repair it! To avoid injury and risk of fire, explosion,
or electric shock, and to avoid damage to the environment:
• Cover the battery's terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape.
• Do not attempt to remove or destroy any of the battery components.
• Do not attempt to open the battery.
• If a leak develops, the released electrolytes are corrosive and toxic. Do not get the solution in the
eyes or on skin, and do not swallow it.
• Do not place these batteries in your regular household trash.
• Do not incinerate and do not place them where they will become part of any waste landfill or
municipal solid waste stream.
