Battery Disposal

Your cleaner is equipped with a replaceable sealed lead-acid battery (Type No. LC-R064R2P). When the battery no longer charges, it must be removed from the cleaner and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular household trash. The incineration or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas. Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery battery recycler. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries. If you live in the State of Florida or Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the municipal waste stream.
