Notice on Battery Disposal (German Battery Act - BattG)

As our shipments may contain batteries and rechargeable batteries, we are obligated under the German Battery Act (BattG) to inform you of the following:

1. Prohibition of Household Waste Disposal
   Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. As an end user, you are legally required to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal and recycling.
2. Free Return Option
   You can return used batteries free of charge after use at a collection point in your immediate vicinity (e.g. at retail stores or municipal collection points). Alternatively, you can return batteries purchased from us by mail with sufficient postage paid.
3. Meaning of the Symbols
   The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin means that the battery must not be disposed of in household waste. Below this symbol, you may also find the chemical symbols for specific pollutants:
   • Pb: Battery contains lead
   • Cd: Battery contains cadmium
   • Hg: Battery contains mercury
