BATTERY RECYCLING
Be good to the environment!
The Twin
Explorer is powered by a rechargeable LiPo
battery. At the end of the battery’s useful life,
under various state and local laws, it may be
illegal to dispose of the battery into the municipal
waste system. Check with your local solid waste officials for
details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
We encourage contacting your local recycling center for
more information.
