Free return of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obligated to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be ensured. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers. We, as distributors of batteries, are also obligated to take back used batteries, limited to the types that we currently stock or have previously stocked as new batteries. You may therefore send back such used batteries to us with sufficient postage or return them free of charge directly to our shipping warehouse at the address listed in the imprint. -
Meaning of battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury, more than 0.002% cadmium, or more than 0.004% lead by mass, the chemical symbol of the respective pollutant appears beneath the bin symbol – “Cd” for cadmium, “Pb” for lead, and “Hg” for mercury.
