27.2 Battery Recycling
WARNING
Handle discharged/depleted batteries carefully. Even if 
believed to be discharged, lithium ion batteries may never 
totally discharge and still may deliver a dangerous short 
circuit current. If damaged or exposed to extreme 
temperatures, they may leak, generate heat, catch fire or 
explode.
► Observe all federal, state and local disposal rules and 
regulations.
► Contact your authorized STIHL servicing dealer for the 
latest information on waste disposal.
► Recycle depleted batteries promptly.
► Keep batteries away from children. Do not disassemble 
and do not dispose of in fire.
The RBRC seal indicates that STIHL has prepaid for battery 
recycling. RBRC has a toll free phone number (1-800-822-
8837) that connects you to information on battery recycling 
locations and information on battery disposal bans or 
restrictions in your area. You can also return your spent
