The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the lithium-ion battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the tool to an authorized Black & Decker service center for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call

1-800-8-BATTERY.
