Section III - Guidelines
45
4. Guidelines for battery pack.
1) Device administrators discarding spent battery pack should throw them
away as nonflammable waste. However, local jurisdictions might have
different disposal rules and methods for spent battery packs.
2) Commercial disposal of spent battery packs by contacting a waste
disposal company is recommended and may be required by local laws.
3) When discarding battery pack, insulate the + and - terminals of
batteries with insulation tape as shown below to avoid short-circuiting the
battery pack. Otherwise, the battery could generate heat, catch fire, or
burst.
Insulation example for discarding cartridges.
When disposed of improperly, lithium-ion
batteries inside the cartridge might short,
causing them to become hot, burst or ignite,
catch fire and result in injury.
