WEEE. The removed batteries have to be treated according to the 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 its 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
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212°F (100°C). Such treatment can
cause cell rupture.
Section 14 - Transport Information
Lithium Metal Batteries are classified as Dangerous goods under Class 9 per the United Nations. Our cells and batteries are in
compliance of the United Nation Transport Recommendations and meets all the requirements of UN Manual of Test and Criteria
(IATA DGR 3.9.2.6).
For transporting our cell or batteries, depending of the shipping method used, the dangerous goods regulations and/or rules are
fulfilled and must be followed in case of further transportation.
Our button cells or batteries are packed and shipped under compliance of IEC 60086-1. Our original packaging are adequate to
avoid mechanical damages during the transport, handling and stacking. The materials used prevent the development of
unintentional electrical conduction, corrosion of the terminals and ingress of moisture, shock and vibration are kept to a minimum.
For the transport, handling and storage the boxes must be handled with care – cartons should not be thrown off trucks, slammed
into position or piled so high as to overload battery containers below. Protection from inclement weather should be provided – See
Section 7, Annex I.
