Battery Regulation

Note on the battery regulation and the correct handling of used batteries/accumulators:

In connection with the sale of batteries or rechargeable batteries, or devices powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries, we as a retailer are obliged under the Battery Ordinance to inform about the relevant regulations and obligations:

Batteries are marked with the symbol Do not dispose of in household waste (crossed-out wheeled bin) and one of the chemical symbols

* Cd (=battery contains cadmium),

* Hg (=battery contains mercury) or

* Pb (=battery contains lead).

Disposal via normal household waste is prohibited and violates the Battery Ordinance.

Please dispose of used batteries, as required by law, at a municipal collection point or return them to your local retailer free of charge. Batteries received from us can be returned to us free of charge after use at the business address listed above or sent to us by mail with sufficient postage.

Please accept this offer and help keep our environment clean.

Further detailed information on the Battery Ordinance is available from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
