Free return of batteries
Batteries may not be disposed with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can return used batteries to a local collection point or local store. We are also obliged to take back batteries, although our obligation to take back batteries is limited to all types of used batteries that we carry or have carried as new batteries in the online shop. You can send used batteries back to us. You will bear the postage costs if you hand it in free of charge directly to our branches at the address given in the legal notice.
Meaning of the battery symbols
The image with the crossed-out garbage can indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste:
Batteries with more than 0,0005 percent by mass of mercury, more than 0,0002 percent by mass of cadmium, more than 0,004 percent by mass of lead, the substances used can be found under the symbol. “Cd” stands for cadmium, “Pb” stands for lead and “Hg” for mercury.
