Utilisation of the rechargeable battery (accumulator)
1.8.1
Environment / Disposal
Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with the household waste. Spent batteries and
accumulators must be disposed of in appropriate collection boxes. If there is no collection box nearby,
spent batteries and accumulators can also be handed over to the collection points for problematical
substances provided by the communities.
Accumulators purchased from our company can of course be returned to us after usage.
By doing so, you will fulfil legal regulations (battery ordinance) and contribute to the environmental
protection.
Batteries and accumulators containing harmful substances are marked with the symbol of a
crossed-out garbage bin. Below the garbage bin symbol you will find the chemical marking
of the harmful substances: "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, "Hg" for mercury.

Maintenance instructions and safety instructions for accumulators
Keep accumulators and battery chargers away from children.
Accumulators must always be charged prior to the first use.
The full capacity of accumulators can only be reached after several charging and discharging cycles.
Accumulators should be fully discharged after approximately 10 charging cycles and then be
recharged again.
Accumulators have a self-discharging effect. If the accumulator has been stored for a longer period of
time, it has to be recharged prior to use.
The optimal room temperature for charging the accumulator is between 15° and 30° Celsius.
Store the accumulator at room temperature and keep it in a dry place.
Keep the charging process always under surveillance. Never leave the accumulator unguarded in the
battery charger as there is the risk of leakage when being overheated!! We do not assume any liability
for consequential damage.
Accumulators must never be burnt, polarised, short-circuited or opened.
Leaking or damaged accumulators may cause chemical burns after contact with skin. Use safety
gloves when handling leaking or damaged accumulators.
Accumulators are consumables (such as batteries) which we do not warrant for.
