Section XIII - Disposal Considerations
Waste disposal method:
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 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), Annex II, 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
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 off 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.
