Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous materials regulations. Never throw away used
batteries in your household trash.

Disposing of the Battery Responsibly

The Battery is a sealed lead-acid Battery. Recycle or dispose of it in an environmentally sound way.

Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in a fire; the Battery may explode or leak.

Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in your regular, household trash. Law in most areas prohibits incinerating, disposing in a
landfill, or mixing a sealed lead-acid Battery with household trash.

Recycling a Used Battery

Please dispose of your used Batteries responsibly by recycling them. Call your local Solid Waste Management District or your
local waste handler to locate the collection site nearest you. Some collection sites recycle Batteries year-round; others collect
them periodically.
