Disposing of dead batteries
IMPORTANT
Nickel-metal-hydride batteries contain metals that can be
reclaimed and reused. Instead of throwing away dead batteries, please dispose
of them as described here.
In the United States: Return dead batteries to your Apple-authorized service
provider, who will make sure they are included in Apple’s battery recycling
program.
Elsewhere: Many countries have government- or Apple-sponsored collection
and/or recycling programs for dead batteries. Dispose of dead batteries in
accordance with the mandatory or voluntary battery collection schemes in
your country. Contact your Apple-authorized service provider for information
about the recommended battery disposal procedures in your location. If there
is no government- or Apple-sponsored return program, you can dispose of the
batteries with your regular trash, taking care not to break them open or
incinerate them.
WARNING
Damaged nickel-metal-hydride batteries may leak small
amounts of sodium hydroxide. This substance can cause severe burns to
the skin and eyes. If you touch a damaged battery, immediately rinse
your hands and any other affected areas with water for at least five
minutes. Do not use soap.
