A depleted battery that is ready to be discarded may still contain a residual charge. Certain precautions must be taken to prevent batteries from short-circuiting.
Please package batteries using the following guidelines:

- Place each battery into an individual plastic bag. This will prevent contact between terminals or other metal surfaces during storage and transport; OR
- Place non-conductive electrical tape over the battery terminals
