Disposing of a Used Battery Pack
Å
WARNING: There is a risk of fire and chemical burn if a battery pack
is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery
pack, or short the contacts on it. Do not expose a battery pack to
temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or dispose of a battery pack in
water or fire.
When a battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of it in general household waste.
In Europe, dispose of or recycle battery packs by using the
public collection system or by returning them to HP, your
authorized HP partners, or their agents.
In other regions, refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers
booklet included with the notebook to contact an HP
Customer Care Center and request information about battery
pack disposal.
For more information about battery pack precautions and
disposal, and the complete text of governmental agency notices,
refer to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide on the
