# Disposing the IF1200 Batteries

## Disposal

Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries need to be disposed of properly. They need to be taken to a local facility that can handle the proper disposal of lithium batteries. Hold any batteries in need of disposal in an adequate, fire-resistant container, until they can be properly disposed of. Contact your local waste management to inquire how to dispose of LiPo batteries safely.
