Battery Law Notes

Since our shipments may contain batteries and accumulators, we are obliged according to the Battery Act (BattG) to point out the following to you: Batteries and accumulators may not be disposed of with household waste, but you are legally obliged to return used batteries and accumulators. Used batteries can contain harmful substances that, if not stored or disposed of properly, can harm the environment or your health. But batteries also contain important raw materials such as: B. iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and can be recycled. After use, you can either send the batteries back to us or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity (e.g. in stores or in municipal collection points or in our shipping warehouse). The sale in points of sale is limited to end users for the usual quantities and those used batteries that the distributor carries or has carried in its range as new batteries.

The symbol with the crossed out garbage can means that you must not dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in household waste. Under this symbol you will also find the following symbols with the following meaning:

Pb: Battery contains lead

Cd: Battery contains cadmium

Hg: Battery contains mercury
