About this deal
For additional information and the latest in battery and battery-powered device transportation, please visit http://safetravel.dot.gov/. Per the U.S. Department of Transportation, “batteries pose little risk contained in the devices they power and that taking the battery out of the device does not enhance safety."
DO preserve battery life by switching off a device and removing the batteries when it’s not being used, and is not expected to be used for extended periods of time. Although it’s often safe to dispose of used batteries via your normal waste management process, Energizer encourages everyone to recycle their batteries – it’s simply the responsible thing to do. That’s why we’re partnering with important organizations like Earth911 for information on recycling single-use batteries and for recycling rechargeable batteries. Planning a trip? You don’t need to leave your batteries at home. Batteries and battery-powered devices are safe to fly with if you follow these simple guidelines from the U.S. Department of Transportation: DO remove all batteries from the device at the same time and replace them with new batteries of the same size and type.
