Battery law
Note in accordance with the Battery Act - BattG:
• The following information is valid for Germany.
In connection with the sale of batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obliged as
a dealer under the Battery Act to inform end users of the following:
• End users are legally obliged to return used batteries and rechargeable
batteries.
• After use, batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge
to municipal collection centres or retailers. The batteries/rechargeable batteries
must have reached the end of their normal service life, otherwise precautions
must be taken against short circuits.
• The return option is limited to batteries and rechargeable batteries of the type
that we carry or have carried in our range and to the quantity that end
consumers usually dispose of.
• A crossed-out wheelie bin means that you must not dispose of batteries or
rechargeable batteries in household waste. Old batteries or rechargeable
batteries may contain harmful substances that can damage people and the
environment if not disposed of correctly.
• Batteries containing harmful substances are labelled with a symbol consisting
of a crossed-out dustbin and the chemical symbol (Cd = cadmium, Hg =
mercury, or Pb = lead) of the heavy metal that is decisive for the classification
as containing harmful substances.
