Important: Nickel-cadmium batteries contain metals which are hazardous when released to the environment. It is inappropriate, and in some cases unlawful, to throw batteries away with your household or business trash. Instead of throwing away your spent batteries, dispose of them as described here.

In the United States: Return spent batteries to your authorized Apple service provider, who will make sure they are included in Apple's battery recycling program.

Elsewhere: Many locations have government or Apple- sponsored collection and/or recycling programs for spent batteries. Dispose of spent batteries in accordance with the mandatory or voluntary battery collection schemes in your location. Contact your authorized Apple service provider for information about the recommended battery disposal procedures in your area..

sWarning: Damaged nickel-cadmium batteries may leak small amounts of potassium hydroxide. This substance can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. If you touch a damaged battery, immediately wash your hands and any other affected areas with water for at least five minutes. Do not use soap. s
