BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE

RECYCLING BATTERIES
WITH OTHER CHEMISTRIES

Due to the chemicals in them, you should recycle
rechargeable, lithium, lithium ion, and zinc air batteries.
In addition to “traditional” rechargeable batteries like AAs or
AAAs, rechargeable batteries like the ones found in everyday
household items such as cameras, cell phones, laptops, and
power tools should also be recycled. Look for the battery
recycling seals on rechargeable batteries.
Car batteries containing lead should be brought only to
waste management centers, where they can eventually be
recycled. Because of the value of their materials, many auto
retailers and service centers will “buy back” your used car
batteries for recycling.
As part of our commitment to the preservation of the
environment, we help fund the nonprofit Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) and its Call2Recycle®
program. To find
a rechargeable battery recycling location near you, visit
www.call2recycle.org.
The Home Depot,® Best Buy,® and Batteries Plus® often collect
batteries and electronics for recycling.

PACKAGING DISPOSAL

We encourage you to recycle packaging.
As part of our commitment to preserve
the environment, we use only nontoxic
inks in our packaging and the card portion
of our package is made from 55% recycled
material. The plastic portion is made
with 30% recycled plastic. The battery
“can” is made with 40% recycled steel to
improve environmental impact while still
maintaining strength.
