How to Safely Dispose of Lithium Batteries

Damaged or old batteries can cause fire hazards, so they must be disposed of in a special way. They also contain heavy metals such as cadmium, which are harmful to the environment.

Discharging

First, you need to discharge the cells. This can be done by connecting them to a halogen or incandescent lamp for an extended period. Some chargers also have a dedicated full-discharge “storage/disposal” mode.
