Battery Regulation Law (BattG)

Cause we are selling batteries and accumulators or products containing batteries and accumulators, we are obligated according to the battery law to point out the following:
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste, but you are legally obliged to return used batteries and accumulators. Waste batteries can contain harmful substances which can damage the environment or your health if stored or disposed incorrectly. However, batteries also contain important raw materials, e.g. Iron, zinc, manganese or nickel and should be recycled. You can either bring the batteries to us or return them free of charge in the immediate vicinity (for example, in the commercial trade or in municipal collection points). Batteries or accumulators containing pollutants are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out refuse bin. In the immediate vicinity of this garbage is the symbol of the chemical name of the pollutant with the following meaning:
Pb: Battery contains lead, Cd: Battery contains cadmium, Hg: Battery contains mercury

According to BattG § 10, every seller of car starter batteries is legally obliged to charge a pledge of 7.50 €, if in return no old battery of the same type is delivered. Together with your battery, you will receive a battery deposit coupon of 7.50 €. Please return your old battery together with our deposit coupon and get the amount refunded. As used batteries belong to dangerous goods, they are not allowed to be sent by post. If the dispense is not possible due to the distance, the regional recycling centers (addresses in the branch directory or at the environmental telephone of your county) will take your old battery. Please allow this action to be stamped on the deposit coupon. As soon as you send us the stamped deposit coupon, we can refund you the charge.
