Prepaid recycling

[ahurt]

The RBC recycling program states genuine APC RBC batteries only. I have two RBC140 packs to recycle but I can't confirm they are genuine APC battery packs. Can I still send them in via the RBC recycling link?

Show me a photo of the three sides of the battery cartridge. At a high level theres no real problem sending in the expired batteries for recycling as you’re doing your part to be safe & green.

Worst case you can drop those batteries off at any Costco, Best Buy, Staples, Walmart for recycling.

I'm attaching pics of one of the battery packs.

There should be a APC production sticker on the exterior housing which isn’t present in your photos.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter just print off the return label and ship it back. You’re doing your part to be green and responsible in the disposal of the expired pack.

The concern is this statement on APCs site:

Disclaimer: This link is to be used solely by customers who have purchased a genuine APC RBC and who are therefore rightfully entitled to free return shipping of the old battery. APC reserves the right to investigate and prosecute unauthorized use or abuse of this secure URL.
