IMPORTANT
Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries contain metals which
are hazardous when released in the environment. It is inappropriate, and in
some cases unlawful, to throw batteries away with your household or business
trash. Instead of throwing away your spent batteries, dispose of them as
described here.

Elsewhere
Many locations have government or Apple-sponsored collection
and/or recycling programs for spent batteries. Dispose of spent batteries in
accordance with the mandatory or voluntary battery collection programs

Damaged nickel-metal-hydride batteries may leak small

to the skin and eyes. If you touch a damaged battery, immediately wash
your hands and any other affected areas with water for at least five
minutes. Do not use soap.
