Battery End of Life

How should you properly recycle or dispose of your batteries?

The EG4 battery is designed to last for 15+ years when used correctly. We have worked tirelessly to

ensure that our batteries will maintain a charge after thousands of cycles, and typically the battery will

outlast most enclosures. However, when it does come time to retire your battery, there are a few things

you must consider.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are considered a hazardous material and should not be disposed of by

simply placing them in the trash. There are a number of online websites and organizations that will accept

your battery to recycle at little to no cost to you. At EG4, we understand that we are working with

customers across the United States and the world. Our best recommendation is to visit your favorite

search engine, and search the term "Lithium Battery Disposal Near Me". You will likely get an assortment

of organizations that can safely dispose of your battery. We highly recommend calling ahead of time to

ensure that the location is still open and accepting materials.

If, however, you are unable to locate a disposal location safely, we are here to help. Before dumping your

battery or disposing of it incorrectly, please contact our customer service team for further assistance.
