Special features when selling starter batteries

In connection with the sale of vehicle batteries, we are obligated, pursuant to Section 10 of the German Battery Act (BattG), to charge a deposit of €7.50 including VAT per vehicle battery if you do not return an old vehicle battery at the time of purchase. This deposit is not included in the purchase price and is shown next to the final price on the item.

If you return an old vehicle battery to us that we have or have had in our range as a new battery in accordance with Section 9 of the Battery Act (BattG), we are obliged, within the framework of the statutory provisions, to take it back free of charge and to refund the deposit.
If we have issued a deposit token in accordance with Section 10 Paragraph 1 Sentence 3 of the Battery Act (BattG), the refund of the deposit upon return of the used vehicle battery is dependent on the return of the deposit token.

The return location is the address listed in the imprint.

Returning the old battery by mail is not permitted due to the Dangerous Goods Ordinance.

Alternatively, used vehicle batteries can be handed in free of charge at recycling centers. The deposit we collect is collected by the public recycling centers. Recycling centers do not refund the deposit. However, you have the option of having the return of the used vehicle battery acknowledged on the deposit token. Upon presentation of the acknowledged deposit token, we will refund the battery deposit.

Please note the above information.
