Disposal Information
Do not incinerate, recharge, disassemble short, or subject cells to temperatures in excess of 100°C.
Such abuse can result in loss of seal, leakage, and/or cell explosion. Dispose of in accordance with
appropriate local regulations.
When properly used and disposed the battery does not present environmental hazard. The battery does not
contain mercury, cadmium, or lead. Do not let internal components enter marine environment.
Avoid release to waterways, wastewater or ground water.
USA: Batteries must be completely discharged prior to disposal and / or the terminals must be taped or
capped to prevent short circuit. This product does not contain any materials listed by the United Stated EPA as
requiring specific waste disposal requirements. When completely discharged it is not considered hazardous.
Disposal of large quantities of lithium power cells may be subject to Federal, State, or Local regulations.
In the European Union, manufacturing, handling and disposal of batteries is regulated on the basis of the
DIRECTIVE 2006/66/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 6 September 2006 on
