Note on the disposal of old devices and batteries

​The following notice is aimed at those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form supplied to them (end users):

​

1. Free return of old devices and batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return old batteries so that professional disposal can be guaranteed. You can hand in used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers. As a battery distributor, we are also obliged to take back old batteries, whereby our take-back obligation is limited to old batteries of the type that we have or have had as new batteries in our range. You can therefore either return old batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge directly to our shipping warehouse at the address given in the imprint.

2. Meaning of the battery symbols

Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Batteries containing more than 0.0005% by mass of mercury, more than 0.002% by mass of cadmium or more than 0.004% by mass of lead have the chemical designation of the Eacheil pollutant used - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
