Safety Battery Disposal | Dell Inspiron 1150 specs

•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

•Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

SAFETY: Battery Disposal

Your computer uses an lithium-ion battery and a reserve battery. For instructions about replacing the lithium-ion battery in your computer, refer to "Removing a Battery" on page 39. The reserve battery is a long-life battery, and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace it, the procedure must be performed by an authorized service technician.

Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.
