Note on the disposal of old batteries The following notice applies to end users using batteries or products with built-in batteries: Free take-back of old batteries Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return old batteries so that professional disposal can be guaranteed. You can hand in used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers. As a battery distributor, we are also obliged to take back old batteries, whereby our obligation to take back is limited to old batteries of the type that we have or have had as new batteries in our own range. You can therefore either return old batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge directly to our dispatch warehouse at the following address: Stefan Herzog Moosbrunnenweg 3 67435 Neustadt Meaning of the battery symbols Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed out wheelie bin.
