Recycling is the most cost-effective and trouble-free method of disposal, and therefore is the preferred disposal method when batteries are removed from service. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governs the requirements for management and control of all wastes, hazardous or nonhazardous, and applies to the disposal of batteries. RCRA states that spent batteries must be sent to a battery manufacturer for recycling or regeneration. Other recyclers are not acceptable. Some manufacturers will accept old batteries for recycling and regeneration. Although manufacturers generally accept lead-acid batteries more willingly than nickel-cadmium batteries, a fee may be charged for regeneration. Actual disposal must meet both RCRA and local facility requirements.

Section I-USE
15-1. Electrical tools and equipment standards.
Industry standards describe the requirements for electrical protective equipment and for tools. These standards were developed so that the tools, equipment, materials, and test methods used by electrical workers will provide protection from electrical hazards. Electrical protective equipment is included in the ASTM F 18 series specifications. Tool and equipment terminology and in-service maintenance and electrical testing are included in ANSI/IEEE 935 and IEEE 978 respectively. Safety manuals TM 5-682, NAVFAC P-1060, and AFM 32-1078 also contain tool and equipment requirements.
