Section 13 – Disposal Condition
Be sure to comply with your federal, state and local regulation regarding disposal of used batteries.
Please follow the instructions of proper regulation.
As electric capacity can be left in a discarded battery and it comes into contact with other metals, it could
lead to distortion, leakage, overheating, or rupture, so make sure to cover the (+) or (-) terminals with
electrical or adhesive tape or some other insulator before disposal.
Section 14 – Transportation Information
In general, all batteries in all forms of transportation (ground, air, or ocean) must be packaged in a safe
and responsible manner. Regulatory concerns from all agencies for safe packaging require that batteries
be packaged in a manner that prevents short circuits and be contained in “strong outer packaging” that
prevents spillage of contents. All original packaging for RENATA silver oxide batteries has been designed
to be compliant with these regulatory concerns.
Silver oxide batteries (sometimes referred to as “Dry cell” batteries) are not listed as dangerous goods
under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions and the U.S. hazardous
materials regulations (49 CFR).
These batteries are not subject to the dangerous goods regulations provided they meet the requirements
contained in the following special provisions.
