In conjunction with the distribution of batteries or rechargeable batteries or shipment of devices that contain batteries or rechargeable batteries, according to the German Battery Ordinance (BattV), we are required to point out the following:

Batteries cannot be disposed of with household garbage. As an end consumer, you have a legal obligation to return used batteries. You can return batteries to the original place of sale or in your local area (for example in community collecting points or stores) at no cost. You can also send batteries back to us by mail, with sufficent postage.

Batteries or rechargeable batteries, which contain harmful substances, are identified with a crossed out garbage bin.

The chemical element of the harmful substance can be found next to the garbage bin symbol. Cd stands for cadmium, Pb for lead and Hg for mercury.
