Recycling

The XPower Powerpack is designed to provide years of service. However, when the internal battery reaches the end of its service life, you will need to replace it as described in your manual.

Because the internal battery contains lead, which can be hazardous if exposed to the environment, the old internal battery should be recycled or safely disposed of at your local recycling depot.

Do not dispose of the old internal battery with common household waste. Please ask your local authorities about recycling services that are available in your area.
