Information on recycling and disposing of lead-acid batteries and lead-gel batteries
- Old lead batteries up to 31.12.1998 are not classed as recyclable waste requiring special monitoring and control. They bear the ISO symbol for return and recycling.
- The electrolyte, diluted sulfuric acid or acid gel should never be emptied in a careless manner. This procedure must be carried out by specialist companies.

- Old lead-acid batteries and lead-gel batteries should not be mixed together as this would make recycling more difficult.
Always store lead-acid batteries horizontally and do not tilt during transport.
- Lead batteries can be taken back to the respective manufacturer, to sales outlets and to scrap metal dealers and are recycled at lead recycling plants. Recycled lead is fed back into the production process.
The disposal of batteries as domestic waste is not permitted and is forbidden by law.
