Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return old batteries so that professional disposal can be guaranteed. You can hand in used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers.

You can therefore send old batteries of the aforementioned type back to us with sufficient postage to the following address:

Old batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the old device must be separated from it before handing them in. Electrical devices are also marked with the following symbol:
