When disposing of the battery, adhere to the guidance for lithium-based packs, including possible recycling through authorized facilities and avoidance of puncture or exposure to heat; seal and label the battery as required by local regulations. Collect and segregate recyclable metals, plastics, and composites from the unit and submit them to certified recycling streams; document the weight and type of materials recycled to support environmental reporting. For units slated for salvage, contact the original equipment manufacturer or authorized service partners to facilitate proper teardown procedures, component reuse, and safe handling of any remaining fluids or residues. Maintain records of disposal activities, including dates, facility names, and materials recycled or disposed, to ensure compliance and traceability.
