Battery Information

In connection with the sale of batteries or the delivery of devices containing batteries, we are obliged to inform you of the following:

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste.

You may either return used batteries that we carry or have carried in our range as new batteries to us at your own expense, or return them free of charge to our shipping warehouse (shipping address). Alternatively, you may dispose of the batteries at local collection points.

As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries so that they can be recycled or disposed of properly.

Used batteries may contain hazardous substances which, if stored or disposed of improperly, can harm the environment or your health. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese, or nickel and can be recycled.

The symbols shown on the batteries have the following meaning:

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that the battery must not be disposed of with household waste.

For batteries that contain a certain amount of lead, cadmium, or mercury, the following markings below the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicate the respective hazardous substances:

Pb = battery contains more than 0.004 percent by mass of lead
Cd = battery contains more than 0.002 percent by mass of cadmium
Hg = battery contains more than 0.0005 percent by mass of mercury

Information on the costs included in accordance with Article 56(4) of the EU Battery Regulation (Regulation 2023/1542) can be found at the initiative “Batterie-Zurück” (https://www.batterie-zurueck.de/de/bewirtschaftungvonaltbatterien/).
