Information on the battery act [BattG]
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries do
not belong in household waste, but must be
collected or disposed of separately!
• 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 operating or
assembly instructions.
• Owners or users of primary batteries and recharge-
able batteries are legally obliged to return them after
use. The return is limited to household quantities.
• 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% mercury
- 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. municipal
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 countries
of the European Union and subject to the Europe-
an Directive 2006/66/EC. In countries outside the
European Union, different regulations may apply to
the disposal of rechargeable batteries and primary
batteries.
