13.1 Disposing of batteries

Think about environmental protection. Used batteries do not belong in normal domestic
waste. You must dispose of them at a collection point for old batteries. Please note that you
should only dispose of batteries in collection containers for old batteries when they are fully
discharged. If the batteries are not completely dead, you need to take precautionary
measures before disposal to prevent short circuits.
