Can Shorai LFX be fully discharged and then disposed in regular garbage?

A. That depends on your municipal regulations. Shorai LFX batteries meet the European RoHS standards for environmental health, and contain no lead. Check with your local authority to see if LiFePO4 batteries are allowed. If so, fully discharge the battery before disposal, using a 12V light bulb until no longer lit, for example. We expect that there will also be recycling available in some locations, and more coming in the years ahead.
