Battery Ordinance

In connection with the sale of batteries and rechargeable batteries, we as a dealer are obliged under the Battery Act to inform our customers of the following:

You are legally obliged to return old batteries and rechargeable batteries after use. As an end user, you can also return old batteries and rechargeable batteries from our range to our shipping warehouse free of charge or send them back to us. You can also return the old rechargeable batteries and rechargeable batteries to a municipal collection point or to a retailer before return location.

Please note that you must not dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in your household waste. This is indicated by the image of a crossed-out garbage can on the batteries and rechargeable batteries.

Because: Improper disposal of batteries and accumulators can have harmful effects on the environment and human health due to the substances they contain. For this reason, the separate collection and recycling of used batteries is particularly important for the environment and health.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries are also marked with the chemical symbol of the pollutant they contain. Batteries that contain more than 0.0005 percent mercury by weight, more than 0.002 percent cadmium by weight or more than 0.004 percent lead by weight are marked with the chemical symbols of the metals (e.g. "Cd" for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, "Hg" for mercury).
