Seattle Dodge Dealer Says Recycle Your Dodge Hybrid Battery!

Do you own a Dodge Durango Hybrid? Well if you do Seattle Dodge dealer, Rairdon Auto Group, encourages you to recycle your battery.

The Dodge Durango Hybrid in Seattle contain a High Voltage 300 Volt NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery. It is important to understand that these batteries can be recycled. Prior to doing so, however, Chrysler and our Seattle Dodge dealership recommends that you refer to and understand the applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations governing the recycling, handling, and shipping of such batteries and materials. This is important because under law such batteries can, under certain circumstances, be deemed waste or dangerous goods.

NiMH batteries contain several components, including nickel, copper and steel, each of which has value as recycled materials. Rairdon Auto Group’s Seattle Dodge dealership urges dealers to follow the Service Information Procedures for proper disconnecting, removing, storing and handling, and, if necessary, disposal of the NiMH battery packs. Such Service Procedures can be bought online at www.techauthority.com or you can also check with our Seattle Dodge dealership to get qualified support. As the batteries weigh about 150 pounds (70 kg), it is important that you have appropriate equipment and personnel available when removing the battery from the vehicle.

Rairdon Auto Group is glad to help you with any questions you have regarding the NiMH battery packs. Please call our Seattle Dodge dealership at 877-331-8981.
