Do you know all of them?

Batteries that can be collected safely at school

AA-battery

You probably know me already. You can for example find me in the remote controls of your TV. I can safely be collected at schools

C-battery

I'm a powerful battery, but you don't see me very often. If you find me, I'll probably be in toys. You can safely collect me at school.

D-battery

They sometimes call me the 'big brother' of the C-battery. You can for example find me in large flashlights. Feel free to bring me to a collection point at school.

Button or coin cell

My + and - pole lie very close to each other, thanks to my slim figure, and because of this, I can easily short-circuit in combination with some other batteries. To make sure this doesn't happen, it is wise to stick my on a piece of tape along with my peers. You can collect me at school in small amounts.

9 Volts battery

You can recognise me by my excellent poles. I can for example be found in the remote control of tele guided cars or in the remote control of a garage door. Sometimes I dare to short-circuit with a button cell. Don't give me the opportunity to do so, and precautionary tape off my 'antennas'. This way, you can also safely collect me at school.

Batteries that have to be collected in stores or recycling centres

Battery of a video, audio or photo camera

I gave you a lot of beautiful moments and memories in the past. I played music or captured your best moments. Now that I'm empty, you can collect me at stores and recycling centres, so Bebat can give me a new life.

4,5 Volts battery

You can often find me in flashlights or being used for experiments at school. It's best to cover my poles or 'antennes' with a piece of tape to avoid short circuits. I can be safely collected at stores or the recycling centre.

Batteries of an e-cigarette

We exist in a lot of different colours. But careful! We are very powerful. Tape off our poles with a piece of sticky tape before bringing us to the store or recycling centre.

Battery pack of a drill

You wil probably be able to find me in the toolbox of your handy dad/mom, because I used to be in a drilling machine. I can be safely collected at the recycling centre.

Laptop battery

I am a laptop battery. If I'm empty, you can collect me at the store or recycling centre.

Electric fence battery

Do you have a horse or sheep at home? Or are you parents farmers? Then you've probably met me before. I'm an electric fence battery. When I am empty, you bring me to the recycling centre.

Battery of an alarm system

I used to make sure that thieves wouldn't sneak into the house unnoticed. I'm the battery of an alarm system. Now that I'm empty, you can collect me at the recycling centre.

Powerbank

I'm also a battery! Maybe you used me to charge your mobile phone. You can safely collect me at stores or recycling centres.

Battery block

Sometimes, you can still find me in a flashlight. If you've brought me from home, you can collect me at the store or recycling centre. Don't forget to cover my poles with a piece of tape!

Automotive battery

I am a giant battery that can be found in a car. I certainly don't belong in the Bebat collection unit at school or in the store. It's best to take me to a recycling centre or garage holder.

Battery from a model-build device

Do you like putting together model planes? I am the battery that ensures that your plane gets enough energy. You may bring me in at the store or recycling centre in small amounts. Is my tummy completely round and am I swollen? Then I'm probably damaged and I belong at the recycling centre.

Battery pack

You can only collect me at the store or recycling centre if I'm fully dressed and my coat isn't damaged. Is my coat damaged? Then only bring me to a recycling park.

Traction battery

You can find me in electric vehicles and vessels such as forklift trucks, pallet trucks or sweepers. You are not allowed to collect me at school and it is best to have a professional collect me.

Battery of an electric bike

.I gave you or your parents a lot of nice rides. When I am worn out and no longer charging properly, take me back to the bike dealer or to the container park. I don't belong in the Bebat unit at school or the store because I am an extra powerful Lithium battery.

Batteries that require extra care

Leaking battery

I come in all sizes and shapes. It's best to immediately separate me in a plastic bag before dropping me off in a Bebat collection unit. Avoid me touching your hands and skin.

Tips for leaking batteries

Naked cell and naked pack

We are a naked cell and a naked pack, and as our name suggests, we are not wearing a coat and are in our nude. We are industrial batteries. Collect us safely at the recycling centre.

Damaged battery

You have to be extra careful with me. Put me in a plastic bag and bring me to the recycling centre as soon as possible.

Swollen battery

Is my belly round and am I still in a device? Leave me in the device and bring us to the recycling centre together. Am I out of the device? Put me in a plastic bag and safely bring me to the recycling centre.
