Are these batteries mercury free?

According to the rear of the package, there is an International symbol (trash can with an "X" through it) meaning dispose of properly and beneath it are the symbols for both Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb). So yes both of these elements are present, but it gives no indication of how much of each.

Yes they do. I batteries I received have printed on them "Power for BP-511A Replacement". I have not had any issues with these batteries, they have never failed me.

I am not familiar with the manufacturing constituents of the batteries and could not comment whether any mercury is involved. A single charge lasts at least 12 - 14 hours. I charge the batteries in my hearing aids each night for approximately 8 hours. They perform well until I remove them prior to bed.

Another reason I would say they contain mercury is the package label reads "Batteries may explode if recharged or disposed of in fire. Seek medical advice if swallowed."

No. The packaging indicates that they contain both mercury and lead, and that they should not be disposed of with regular trash.

No, they do not have mercury, but the new bulbs that you have to buy do have a slight amount of mercury.

I use these batteries in an outdoor weather station sending unit and have not experienced any corrosion yet , the sending unit is not in direct contact with the elements but is outdoors under a roof !

Yes. As far as I know all led bulbs are mercury free. Only flouredcents need mercury to operate.

The advantage of mercury-free is that it's better for the enironment. However, in the case of Power One, their batteries that have mercury work great...long lasting; their mercury-free batteries are a disaster, dying in half the time of the ones with mercury. I've given up on PowerOne. Rayovac mercury-free batteries last much longer than PowerOne's.

All I have ever used are lithium batteries. I have had the same lithium batteries for more than five years and no issues.

Yes they are Lithium Ion, the listing is wrong under battery cell type, it should say Lithium Ion.

Have no problem with these batteries. Have the same ones for over two years. Are you sure they are the same specks as the original batteries.

I think they were labeled lead free on the box. I no longer have the box but they must have been as I would not have used them without that assurance.

No. Most incandescent bulbs contain a tungsten filament and do not contain any mercury.

So sorry for the late reply. I'm honestly not sure if they are pvc & lead free.

As far as I know yes. Did some research and these are suppose to be lead free
