Disposal Considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
a) Be sure to comply with your federal, state and local regulation disposal of used batteries
Dispose in accordance with appropriate national and international regulations, below some references.
EU: According to Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Annex VII,
batteries have to be removed from any separately collected WEEE.
The removed batteries have to be treated according to Battery directive 2006/66/EC
European Waste Catalogue: 16 06 05 other batteries and accumulators
US: Lithium batteries are neither specifically listed nor exempted from the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency ((US EPA) hazardous waste regulations. The only material of possible concern due to ist
reactivity is lithium metal. However, button cells contain so little lithium that they can be disposed of
in the normal municipal waste stream.
Use a professional disposal firm for disposal of mass quantities of undischarged lithium batteries.
b) Open cells should be treated as hazardous waste.
Customers find detailed information on disposal in their specific countries using the web site of the European
Portable Batteries Association (http://www.epbaeurope.net/legislation_national.html)
Section 14
Transport Information
Lithium metal batteries are classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods in the United Nations Recommendation.
In case of transport, compliance with all the relevant UN regulations is required.
Even though the batteries are classified as lithium metal batteries (UN3090, UN3091), they are not subject
to some requirements of Dangerous Goods Regulations because they meet the following:
1. For cells the lithium content is not more than 1g, for batteries the lithium content is not more than 2g
2. Each cell / battery is type proven to meet the requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3 (edition 5) - (DGR 39.2.6).
3. Each cell / battery is manufactured in ISO9001 certified factory
