When disposing rechargeable batteries, always observe the local laws and regulations. Contact you local recycling center for proper disposal methods.

If Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are not fully discharged, protect against short- circuiting (e.g. by taping the contacts) before disposing.

For customers in Germany:
