Handling lithium batteries and battery packs

Disposal of lithium batteries and battery packs

As a responsible manufacturer, we attach great importance to the safe handling and disposal of our products. Therefore, please note that lithium batteries and battery packs of all electrochemical systems may only be placed in the collection containers for used batteries when they are discharged.

If the batteries are not fully discharged, suitable measures must be taken to prevent short circuits - for example by insulating the terminals with adhesive tape. These precautionary measures serve to protect people and the environment.
