Disposing of a Battery Pack
A new battery pack should be installed every 3 to 5 years. The
material in the battery pack contains heavy metals that can
contaminate the environment. Federal, state, and local regulations
prohibit the disposal of NIMH batteries in public landfills. These
batteries must be sent to a specific location for proper disposal.
