It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE
may apply in countries outside of Germany.

12.2 (Rechargeable) batteries

Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately
from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged
to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in
the normal household waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are
labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is
forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are:
Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) bat-
teries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municip-
ality, our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your
statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against
short circuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insu-
lating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can con-
tain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in
the event of a short circuit.
