13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
13.1 Waste treatment methods
Dispose of the battery pack in accordance with national regulations.
In the EU, used batteries may not be disposed of as household waste and may not be mixed with batteries
of different types, in order to avoid difficulties with recycling and hazards to people and the environment.
Used batteries must be taken back (at no charge) by the sales point or handed in to a disposal facility
(industrial or commercial).
In accordance with the European directive for batteries, lithium batteries are marked with the "symbol for
sorted collection" (a waste bin with a strike-through line) as shown in the figure.
To prevent short circuits and resulting heat generation, lithium batteries may never be stored or transported
unprotected in loose bulk. Suitable measures to prevent short circuits include:
• Placing the battery in the original package, in the original device or in a plastic bag
• Taping over the terminals
• Embedding in dry sand
