Discharging
Nonrechargeable
Batteries
Before disposing of nonrechargeable lithium battery paks, make sure that they
are fully discharged. To discharge a lithium battery pak, follow this procedure:
1. Place the battery pak with the label side up on a firm, flat surface such as a
table top or floor.
2. Locate the slot graphic on the corner marked by the arrow:
3. Place the tip of a flat-bladed screwdriver on the slot.
4. Using a hammer, strike a moderate blow straight down on the top of the
screwdriver handle. Make sure that the tip of the screwdriver breaks the label
and penetrates approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch). This will strike an internal pin,
initiate full discharge, and permanently disable the battery.
5. Set the battery pak aside. Wait for at least one week to make sure the
battery pak is fully discharged before disposing.
