Special conditions for the sale of starter batteries

In connection with the sale of vehicle batteries, we are obliged, insofar as you are an end consumer, pursuant to § 10 BattG to charge a deposit of 7.50 euros including VAT per vehicle battery if you do not return an old vehicle battery at the time of purchase of a new vehicle battery. The deposit is not included in the purchase price and is shown next to the final price of the item.
 
If you return an old vehicle battery to us which we stock or have stocked as a new battery in our product range in accordance with § 9 BattG, we are obliged, within the framework of the statutory provisions, to take it back free of charge and to refund the deposit amount.
If, in accordance with § 10 para. 1 sentence 3 BattG, the refund of the deposit when returning the used vehicle battery is dependent on the return of the deposit stamp.
 
The place of return is the address listed in the imprint.
 
Returning the used battery by post is not permitted due to the Ordinance on Hazardous Goods.
 
Alternatively, used vehicle batteries can also be handed in free of charge at recycling centres. The deposit we charge is not refunded by the public recycling centres. However, you have the option of obtaining a receipt for the return of the used vehicle battery on the deposit label. We will refund the battery deposit on presentation of the receipted deposit label.
