Additional information — Article 13(3)

Non-rechargeable. Do not attempt to recharge this battery; doing so may cause leakage, rupture, or explosion.

Minimum average duration in specific applications: The minimum average duration in specific applications will be disclosed on this page when the labelling requirement under Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 becomes applicable and the corresponding test documentation is available.

Marking information — Article 13(4)

Separate collection symbol. All batteries placed on the EU market from 18 August 2025 must bear the symbol for separate collection of batteries (the "crossed-out wheeled bin"), as set out in Part B of Annex VI of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.

The JHT CR2450 is a button cell measuring 24.5 mm in diameter × 5.0 mm in height (per the IEC 60086-3 designation "CR2450"), with a largest-side (top-face) area of approximately 4.71 cm² and a total surface area of approximately 13.28 cm². Article 13(4) requires the separate collection symbol to cover at least 3 % of the area of the largest side of the battery (or, where the cell is classified as cylindrical, at least 1.5 % of the total surface area). Applied to this cell, either measure yields a required symbol side of approximately 3.8–4.5 mm — in each case smaller than 0.47 × 0.47 cm. The final subparagraph of Article 13(4) provides that "where the size of the battery is such that the separate collection symbol would be smaller than 0,47 × 0,47 cm, the battery does not need to be marked with that symbol. Instead, a separate collection symbol measuring at least 1 × 1 cm shall be printed on the packaging." This product is marked accordingly: the separate collection symbol is printed on the sales packaging at a minimum size of 1 × 1 cm. A pictorial explanation of the symbol is provided in Section 4(e) below.

3. Battery Due Diligence Information

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 47 (scope of Chapter VII) and Article 52(3)

Article 13(6)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires that the QR code on a battery provide access to the report referred to in Article 52(3) (annual battery due diligence policy report). The scope of that obligation is defined by Article 47.

Exemption under Article 47

Article 47 provides that Chapter VII (Battery Due Diligence, Articles 48–52) does not apply to economic operators that had a net turnover of less than EUR 40 million in the financial year preceding the last financial year, and that are not part of a group of parent and subsidiary undertakings which, on a consolidated basis, exceeds that threshold.

JHIH HONG TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. falls within the scope of this exemption. Accordingly, no due diligence policy report under Article 52(3) is required to be prepared or made publicly available at this time.

Applicability date

The due diligence obligations under Article 48(1) apply from 18 August 2027. Should JHIH HONG TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. subsequently exceed the EUR 40 million net turnover threshold, a battery due diligence policy will be established in accordance with Articles 48–52, and the annual report required under Article 52(3) will be published on this page.

4. Waste Battery Prevention & Management

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 74(1)(a)–(f)

(a) Extending battery life — good practices

To make the most of each battery and reduce waste:

Store in a cool, dry place at 15–25 °C; avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
Keep away from metal objects (coins, keys) that could cause a short circuit.
Do not mix new and used batteries, or batteries of different brands or chemistries, in the same device.
Remove the battery from devices that will not be used for extended periods.
Insert the battery with correct polarity (+/−).

Note: this is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium button cell. Once discharged it cannot be reused, re-prepared, repurposed, or remanufactured; please collect for recycling.

(b) Separate collection — your role

Under Article 64 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and national implementing rules, end-users are required to discard waste batteries separately from unsorted municipal waste. Separate collection enables correct treatment and recovery of materials.

(c) Collection points and take-back

Waste portable batteries can be returned free of charge to:

Retail stores selling batteries, regardless of brand or where purchased.
Municipal collection points and civic amenity sites.
Take-back containers at supermarkets, electronics stores, schools, and public facilities in most Member States.

Please locate your nearest collection point via your national producer responsibility organisation (PRO):

Germany — Stiftung GRS Batterien / GRS Service GmbH
France — Corepile / Screlec-Batribox
Netherlands — Stibat
Belgium — Bebat
Spain — Ecopilas
Italy — CDCNPA
Austria — UFH / ERA-GmbH
Nordic countries — El-Kretsen (SE), Batteriretur (NO), Elretur (DK), Recser (FI)

(d) Safety instructions for handling waste batteries

⚠ Lithium battery — handle with care

Do not puncture, crush, cut, disassemble, incinerate, or expose to high temperatures.
Do not short-circuit the terminals. Insulate the terminals with non-conductive tape before disposal.
If the battery is swollen, leaking, discoloured, or damaged, place it in a sealed non-metallic container with sand or vermiculite and take it to a collection point promptly.
Keep away from children. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately — button cells can cause severe internal injury.
Do not store loose batteries together with other batteries or metal items.

(e) Meaning of labels and symbols

Crossed-out wheeled bin This battery must be collected separately from household waste for proper recycling.

CE marking The manufacturer declares this product conforms to all applicable EU legislation.

QR code Scan to access compliance information, safety data, and waste-management guidance for this battery model.

Non-rechargeable This is a primary battery. Do not recharge — risk of leakage or rupture.

Chemical symbols such as “Cd” or “Pb” may appear beneath the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on batteries containing more than 0.002 % cadmium or 0.004 % lead. This JHT CR2450 battery does not require such a marking.

(f) Environmental and health impact

Batteries contain substances that can be harmful to the environment and to human health if released. Discarding waste batteries in unsorted municipal waste, or as litter, may result in:

Contamination of soil and groundwater with metals (lithium, manganese) and electrolyte components.
Fire and explosion risks in waste collection vehicles and treatment facilities due to short-circuits or damaged lithium cells.
Loss of critical raw materials that could otherwise be recovered and reused in new products.
Risk of injury — particularly to children — from swallowing button cells.

By returning waste batteries to a designated collection point, you help prevent these impacts and support the circular economy.
