Frequently Asked Motorization Question:


How do I properly dispose a lithium-ion battery?
Answer: Never throw lithium-ion batteries away in a trash or recycling bin, please take them to a designated lithium-ion drop off store like Home Depot, or Batteries Plus, or a hazardous waste center. 


Lithium-ion batteries cannot be thrown in the trash because they are considered a hazardous material. Under pressure they can spark causing fire, or leakage of toxic materials.
