If you purchased an APC Replacement Battery Cartridge in the U.S. or Canada, a prepaid shipping label will be provided to return the old battery to an APC battery disposal facility.

If you did not purchase an APC Replacement Battery Cartridge, then you can either dispose of the old battery cartridge at any local battery disposal location or you can pay for the shipping of the old battery cartridge to one of our authorized disposal facilities.
