How to Recycle Button-cell batteries should be recycled properly by a trained watch technician. Your watch retailer or jeweler will remove the spent battery from the watch or clock and forward it to an appropriate waste management service for recycling.

You should not attempt to remove spent batteries yourself because special equipment is often needed in order to protect your watch. Watch retailers and jewelers have specialized tools and experience to properly remove the battery without scarring the case or damaging the water-resistant seal in your watch.

Watch Battery Basics

There are many different types of watch batteries on the market. Some batteries, such as lithium cells, do not contain mercury. Other batteries, such as silver oxide and manganese alkaline button-cells, contain very small amounts of mercury - on average, less than 3 milligrams. The mercury helps these batteries prevent a gassing process that would otherwise corrode the battery and the watch or clock that contains it. There is no danger to you or your watch from the mercury in batteries because it remains sealed. However, it is important to recycle your watch battery properly in order to conserve natural resources and protect the environment. Your watch retailer or jeweler can properly remove your old watch battery and replace it without damaging your watch. These professionals collect used batteries and recycle them through licensed waste management companies.
