Note on disposal of used batteries
The following note is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and do not resell them in the way supplied to them (end users):
1. Free return of used batteries
Batteries cannot be disposed of like household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that professional disposal can be guaranteed. You can hand over used batteries at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. We are also obliged to take back old batteries, whereby our obligation to take back is limited to waste batteries of the type that we have as new batteries in our range or have led. Old batteries of the aforementioned type can either be returned to us with sufficient prepaid postage or delivered directly to our dispatch warehouse at the following address free of charge:

2. Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out bin. This symbol indicates that batteries should not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005% by mass of mercury, more than 0.002% by mass of cadmium or more than 0.004% by mass of lead, the garbage-ton symbol indicates the chemical name of the pollutant used - "cd" is cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.
