Lithium Battery Disposal

For disposal, batteries must be packaged and shipped
in accordance with transportation regulations, to a
proper disposal site. The U.S. Department of Trans-
portation authorizes shipment of "Lithium batteries for
disposal" by motor vehicle only in regulation 173.1015
of CFR 49 (effective January 5, 1983). For additional
information contact: U.S. Department of Transportation
Research and Special Programs Administration 400
Seventh Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590.
WARNING: Do not incinerate or dispose of lithium batteries in gen-
eral trash collection. They may explode or rupture violently. Check
state and local regulations dealing with the disposal of these mate-
rials. You are legally responsible for hazards created while disposing
of depleted batteries. Do the following:
• Visually inspect all batteries for damage to the battery
casing or leakage of electrolyte. If a battery is damaged
and/or leaking, contact your local
EPA for instructions.
• If the battery has leads and is clean and undamaged,
use side cutters to remove the leads as close to the
body of the battery as possible.
• Contact your local Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) office for information about battery disposal com-
panies and proper labeling of battery containers. Lith-
ium batteries can be stored and shipped as universal
waste in most states in the United States of America.
Alternately, you can ship lithium batteries as hazardous
waste.

General Maintenance

The occasional battery change is an excellent time
to complete basic system maintenance. This is also
a good time to verify the calibration / accuracy of the
telemetry system. If possible, measure the product level
currently in the tank in inches from the bottom of the
tank, or down from the top of the tank.
