Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
a) Be sure to comply with your federal, state and local regulation disposal of used batteries.
Dispose in accordance with appropriate national and international regulations, below some references.
European Community: according to Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), Annex VII, batteries have to be removed from any separately collected
WEEE. The removed batteries have to be treated according to the Battery directive
2006/66/EC
European Waste Catalogue: 16 06 05 other batteries and accumulators
US: Lithium batteries are neither specifically listed nor exempted from the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) hazardous waste regulations. The only
material of possible concern due to its reactivity is lithium metal. However, button
cells contain so little lithium that they can be disposed of in the normal municipal
waste stream.
Use a professional disposal firm for disposal of mass quantities of
undischarged lithium batteries.
b) Open cells should be treated as hazardous waste
DO NOT INCINERATE or subject battery cells to temperatures in excess of 212°F (100°C). Such treatment can
cause cell rupture.
