Batteries and electrical waste

Version 1.0 of 14.11.2026.

1. Our role

Callance Sp. z o.o. sells batteries (including LiFePO4 batteries and energy storage systems) and electrical and electronic equipment (inverters, wallboxes, accessories, electric motors). In Poland we are registered in the BDO register under no. 000717542. Registration numbers in other countries are listed in the Legal notice.

2. Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on a battery, equipment or its packaging means that it must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste at the end of its life but must be handed over for separate collection. Chemical symbols below the bin (Hg, Cd, Pb) indicate mercury, cadmium or lead content above legal thresholds.

3. Why separate collection matters

Batteries and electrical equipment may contain substances hazardous to health and the environment, such as electrolytes, heavy metals and lithium compounds. Improper handling may cause fire and contaminate soil and water. Separate collection allows valuable raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminium to be recovered. As an end user you play a key role: by handing over waste batteries and equipment for collection you contribute to their re-use and recycling.

4. Safety of lithium batteries

  • Lithium batteries (Li-ion, LiFePO4) can catch fire if mechanically damaged, short-circuited, overcharged or overheated.
  • Before handing them over, insulate the terminals (e.g. with insulating tape); do not dismantle or puncture the casing.
  • Damaged, swollen or overheating batteries must not be sent as a normal parcel. Contact us – we will tell you how to hand them over safely.
  • Store batteries in a dry place, away from heat sources, at the state of charge recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Where to hand over waste batteries

  • Portable batteries: free of charge at collection points in shops selling batteries, municipal collection points and at our premises.
  • Industrial batteries, energy storage batteries, LMT and EV batteries: we take them back from end users free of charge, regardless of chemistry and brand, at our warehouse in Osielsko, Poland (ul. Niedźwiedzia 16, 86-031 Osielsko) by prior arrangement at info@callance.eu.
  • Your local authority can provide information on collection points near you.

6. Waste electrical and electronic equipment

  • When you buy new equipment from us, you can hand over waste equipment of an equivalent type and function, in a quantity not exceeding the equipment purchased, free of charge (“one-for-one”). For home deliveries, collection takes place at the place of delivery – please request it when ordering.
  • Waste equipment can also be handed over free of charge at municipal collection points.
  • Before handing over equipment, remove batteries that can be removed without tools and delete any personal data stored on the device.

7. Packaging

Dispose of packaging in the appropriate separate collection stream (paper, plastics) in accordance with local rules. Wooden pallets can be re-used.
