Is there a refund for batteries?
No. At the point of purchase, there is a non-refundable EHF (Environment Handling Fee) which is a charge on a product to handle the responsible collection and end-of-life management of that product. There is no refund when you recycle your batteries since there is no deposit paid on them when they are bought.
