Disposing of a Used Battery Pack

WARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery
pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture
a battery pack or short the contacts on a battery pack. Do not
expose a battery pack to temperatures higher than 60° C (140° F),

When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of it in general household waste.
■
In North America, you can dispose of a battery pack by using
the Compaq battery recycling program. This program
provides you with a postage-paid battery pack mailer
preaddressed to a reclamation facility where the metals are
recycled. For more information, call the telephone number
listed for your location in the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet, included with the computer.
