HW-23: All About Batteries
Button cell batteries may contain mercury or other hazardous substances, such as silver. They can be brought to a collection location or be sent to a recycling facility.
Do batteries in energy storage cabinets contain mercury
Zinc air,alkaline,and silver oxide button cell batteries contain small amounts of mercury. These batteries do not pose a health risk when in use since the chances of the mercury leaking out are small.
Lithium Batteries: Are They Mercury-Free and Environmentally Safe?
Most lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries do not contain mercury, making them a safer alternative to older battery technologies, like alkaline and nickel-cadmium batteries, which may
Mercury in Batteries | US EPA

eCFR :: 40 CFR Part 273 Subpart A -
Mercury-containing equipment means a device or part of a device (including thermostats, but excluding batteries and lamps) that contains elemental mercury integral to its function.
Do your batteries contain dangerous heavy metals?
No, the battery industry has made great efforts to eliminate cadmium and mercury from batteries. We at Kodak are proud to say that none of our batteries contain mercury or cadmium (indicated by this logo)
Do batteries contain mercury
No, modern batteries do not contain Mercury.Mercury is a toxic material and is no longer used in most consumer batteries due to environmental and health concerns.
IMERC Fact Sheet Mercury Use in Batteries
Lithium button-cell batteries and non-miniature cylindrical alkaline batteries do not contain mercury. These may be a suitable alternative to mercury-containing button-cell batteries, depending on the
Can Alkaline Batteries Contain Mercury – Wistek
Mercury has historically been used in small amounts in batteries to prevent internal corrosion, but modern regulations and technology have drastically reduced or eliminated its presence.
Hazardous components and substances
When recycling printed circuit boards, any components containing mercury, as well as larger electrolytic capacitors, batteries and accumulators, and LCD displays must first be removed.
