 The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is the predominant commercial form of rechargeable battery, widely used in portable electronics and electrified transportation.

|
These batteries are found in many electronic devices and can become damaged and cause fires when not disposed of correctly. Never put batteries in your household waste bins. Only recycle them using a proper battery recycling service.
Batteries can be recycled at a Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
All large battery retailers are obliged to take back used household batteries for recycling.
There is more information on safe battery disposal at the Take Charge campaign website.
