EU Regulations for E-bikes & Pedelecs (Part 6) Battery Directive

BRUSSELS, Belgium - Batteries may contain metals such as zinc, copper, manganese, lithium and nickel, which present a risk to the environment and human health if they are incorrectly disposed of. As a consequence of this, the collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of batteries and accumulators are ruled at European level by Directive 2006/66/EC, also known as the battery directive.
