More Battery Information FROM APPLE COMPUTER: All Apple computers contain an internal battery that runs the system and the internal clock. Except for the early Macs, these clock batteries are either lithium (metal) or alkaline.
Apple PowerBook computers also use batteries that supply power for mobile computing. Current products use lithium ion batteries because of the need for improved battery efficiency. These newer battery technologies do not pose the same environmental risks associated with older technology batteries containing lead or cadmium.
Batteries generally do not have as long a life as the products in which they are used and are usually replaced before the product is replaced. Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and lead acid batteries, used in earlier Apple computers, may pose health and environmental risks if not disposed of properly. These batteries should not be sent to landfills with municipal garbage. These batteries require special handling.
How do I dispose of/recycle my Nickel-Cadmium Batteries?
- Various states have bans that prohibit the disposal of Ni-Cd batteries in municipal garbage. These states include Florida, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
- Recycle or dispose of Ni-Cd batteries in accordance with your local environmental guidelines. Apple Ni-Cd batteries can be returned to your local Apple Service Provider (ASP). To locate your nearest ASP, go to buy.apple.com.
- Call your local or regional solid waste agency or recycling organizations to find out about battery disposal options. For more information, contact an Apple authorized dealer or service provider in your area or call 1-800-500-7078.
What is Apple doing to reduce the environmental impact of batteries?
- Favoring rechargeable batteries to reduce the resource consumption required in the production of new batteries.
- Utilizing more environmentally-sound battery chemistries, including new technologies as they become available.
- Labeling batteries with their battery chemistries to help identify their constituents and facilitate proper recycling and disposal.
- Avoiding batteries that contain lead, cadmium and/or mercury.
In order to prevent potential hazards from batteries:
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on how the battery should be used.
- Use the battery until it can no longer provide the power you need to operate the equipment.
- Dispose of the battery properly. Look for battery collection programs offered by local municipalities, retail outlets and dealers.
