2. meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. In the case of batteries containing more than 0.0005 mass percent mercury, more than 0.002 mass percent cadmium or more than 0.004 mass percent lead, the chemical name of the pollutant used is shown under the waste bin symbol - where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury."".
