At Ride Engine we are committed to environmental sustainability and responsible waste management. Proper disposal or recycling of lithium-ion batteries that power the
Air Box is essential to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety. Follow these guidelines to dispose of or recycle your lithium-ion batteries in a responsible manner:
1. **Check Local Regulations**: Regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of lithium-ion batteries may vary depending on your location. Check with your local waste management authority or environmental agency to understand the specific guidelines and options available in your area.
2. **Avoid Landfill Disposal**: Never dispose of lithium-ion batteries in regular household waste or landfill bins. Lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous materials and can pose significant environmental risks if not properly handled.
3. **Locate Recycling Facilities**: Ride Engine encourages customers to recycle their lithium-ion batteries at designated recycling facilities. Locate nearby recycling centers, electronics recycling locations, drop-off points, or collection programs that accept lithium-ion batteries.
4. **Avoid Disassembly**: Do not attempt to disassemble lithium-ion batteries at home. Disassembling batteries can be hazardous and may release toxic chemicals or cause thermal runaway. Leave battery dismantling and recycling to professionals equipped with the necessary tools and safety measures.
5. **Damaged Battery Handling**: If a lithium-ion battery is damaged, swollen, or leaking, handle it with extreme caution. Place it in a non-flammable container and contact local hazardous waste authorities or recycling centers for proper disposal instructions. Do not attempt to recycle damaged batteries through regular recycling channels.
By following these guidelines, you can help Ride Engine in our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Together, we can make a positive impact by responsibly disposing of lithium-ion batteries and minimizing waste.
