BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

This product uses rechargeable and reusable lithium-ion battery. When a battery no longer holds a charge, it should no longer be used and should be recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the batteries.
When your lithium-ion batteries need to be replaced, dispose of them or recycle them in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on each lithium- ion battery indicates that the costs to recycle the battery at the end of its useful life have already been paid by SharkNinja. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.

RBRC, in cooperation with SharkNinja and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent lithium-ion battery to an authorized SharkNinja service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
