Disposing of a Battery Pack

A new battery pack should be installed every 3 to 5 years. The material in the battery pack contains heavy metals that can contaminate the environment. Federal, state, and local regulations prohibit the disposal of NIMH batteries in public landfills. These batteries must be sent to a specific location for proper disposal. You can call the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation at 352-376-6693 (FAX: 352-376-6658) for an authorized battery disposal site near you. For a list of battery disposal sites, write to:
