Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indi-
cate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are:
Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon
on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or wherever (re-
chargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit and their exposed ter-
minals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batter-
ies can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
Batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in house-
hold waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury,
Pb = Lead. You can return used batteries to a local recycling point or battery retailer.
That way you fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment!
