Contact with skin or metal
Please avoid bringing an activated battery into contact with metallic objects, as
this could cause them to drain or short-circuit. Button cells are also sensitive to
the natural skin fat of the hands. If this gets onto the cell, it can hinder the
current flow. Hence we advise that you only grip the battery by the tab.
Recycling and disposal
A used hearing aid battery should never remain in the hearing aid longer than
necessary. Please support our efforts to protect the environment and do not
throw a used battery away with the household waste. Primary batteries may be
disposed of via the communal reuse arrangements, provided that no local rules
to the contrary exist. Like all batteries, hearing aid batteries must never be set
fire to or incinerated.
