Disposing of used batteries and electronic equipment

Used batteries

Used batteries must be collected separately and recycled by the end user. This is indicated by the symbol with the

crossed-through waste bin . As the end user, you are required by law to return used batteries.

Batteries containing heavy metals are marked with the chemical symbols HG(mercury), Cd (cadmium) and/or Pb

(lead). Heavy metals can be harmful to human and animal health and tend to accumulate in the environment. You

must ensure the separate collection and proper return of used batteries to prevent this from happening.

Special care must be taken when handling batteries containing lithium, e.g. they must never be heated to high

temperatures or become physically damaged. If gases or fluids escape, they can pose a significant risk to health and

the environment. A short circuit of the terminals can also cause a fire or explosion.

—Used batteries can be returned to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships in EU member states and other

countries.

—Your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership can provide further information on returning and recycling end-

of-life vehicles, or you can visit:
