Environment and disposal

Disposal of waste batteries and chargers

At AccuPower, we are increasingly focusing on the separate collection of spent batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment in order to ensure optimal resource conservation and subsequently avoid potential environmental damage.

As a customer, you therefore have the option of returning used batteries or used chargers that you have purchased from us free of charge.
Batteries or chargers purchased from elsewhere can also be disposed of – to the extent of a new purchase from AccuPower (cf. § 13 EAG-VO).

Please note that this symbol on electrical and electronic equipment means that it must not be disposed of with household waste!
For safety reasons, separate collection is mandatory here!

Environmental protection at AccuPower

.

AccuPower is very much aware of its social responsibility and therefore always strives,
according to the current state of science, to limit damage that could have an impact on the human organism as well as on flora and fauna by means of the most modern scientific achievements.

This is done, among other things, through the following measures:

  • Minimisation of transport routes: Through collective transports when delivering purchased parts.
  • Environmentally friendly product design: Reusable designed protection electronics/electronic boards and use of RoHS compliant materials to avoid environmentally harmful substances.
  • Optimisation of the measuring equipment used in terms of energy consumption.
  • AccuPower operating instructions with safety and disposal instructions for safe product use.
  • Detailed product descriptions on the AccuPower website incl. dangerous goods documentation.
  • Environmentally friendly packaging: The outer packaging of the chargers is made of cardboard and the inner packaging is more easily degradable than ordinary plastic.
  • Extending life cycles: By using intelligent chargers with optimised charging technology and electronic monitoring, and in case of service (if possible): repair instead of disposal for reuse by the customer.
  • Possibility of return of old batteries and old chargers purchased from AccuPower.

Cars that are newly registered have to undergo a new exhaust gas test procedure according to the European-wide standard (WLTP).
Our AccuPower 7S4P lithium batteries are now used in the equipment for the new exhaust gas test procedure.
