Batteries can be disposed of in re-cycling disposal areas and collection sites for household hazardous waste or of you are dealing with very large quantities of batteries you can contact specialist re-cycling centres.
Safety Advice.
When working with NiMH, they are very sensitive to charging characteristics and can explode if mishandled or overcharged as this generates heat.
Customers must be knowledgeable on NiMH rechargeable batteries in charging, discharging, and assembly before use.
• Put the batteries in fire-proof container.
• Never leave batteries unattended when charging.
• Do not put batteries on wood surface or carpet when charging
• Always use a battery charger which is rated for NiMH Cells.
• Never expose NiMH batteries to extreme temperatures.
