Appendix A—Lithium Battery Information
Lithium Battery Disposal
Once a lithium battery is removed from a device and/or is destined for disposal, it is classied as solid waste under EPA
guidelines. Depleted lithium batteries are also considered to be hazardous waste because they meet the denition of Re-
activity, as per 40 CFR 261.23(a)(2), (3) and (5). This document describes how the lithium reacts violently with water,
forms potentially explosive mixtures with water, and when exposed to certain pH conditions, generates toxic cyanide or
sulde gases.
Federal law requires that depleted lithium battery packs be sent to a fully permitted Treatment, Storage and Disposal Fa-
cility (TSDF) or to a permitted recycling/reclamation facility.
Important Do not ship lithium battery packs to our factory. Cameron facilities are not permitted recycling/rec-
lamation facilities.
CAUTION Proling and waste characterization procedures must be followed prior to shipping a lithium bat-
tery to a disposal site. It is the shipper’s responsibility to comply with all applicable federal trans-
portation regulations (see below).
