Dispose of batteries & electrical appliances

Batteries, rechargeable batteries and electrical or electronic appliances must not be disposed of with household waste. This page provides the most important information about separate collection and our return options.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries

End users are legally obliged to return used batteries separately. Battery types sold by us can be returned free of charge in accordance with statutory requirements. Lithium batteries must be secured against short circuits and removed from the old appliance where this can be done without causing damage.
