In connection with the sale of batteries or the delivery of devices containing batteries, we are obliged to inform you of the following:

Special features when selling starter batteries

In connection with the sale of vehicle batteries, we are obliged, in accordance with § 10 BattG, to charge a deposit of €7.50 including VAT per vehicle battery if you are an end consumer and do not return an old vehicle battery when purchasing a new one. The deposit is not included in the purchase price and is shown separately from the final price on the item.

If you return an old vehicle battery to us that we carry or have carried in our range as a new battery in accordance with § 9 BattG, we are obliged by law to take it back free of charge and refund the deposit.

If we have issued a deposit token in accordance with § 10 (1) sentence 3 BattG, the refund of the deposit upon return of the old vehicle battery is dependent on the return of the deposit token. The return location is the address listed in the imprint.

Returning the old battery by mail is not permitted due to hazardous goods regulations. Alternatively, old vehicle batteries can also be returned free of charge to recycling centers. The deposit we charge is not refunded by public recycling centers.

However, you have the option of having the return of the old vehicle battery acknowledged on the deposit mark. Upon presentation of the acknowledged deposit mark, we will refund the battery deposit to you.

Please note the above information.
