Explanation
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), now called Safety Data Sheet (SDS), is the authoritative document that provides specific disposal instructions, hazard information, and regulatory compliance guidance for materials like UPS batteries, which contain lead-acid or other hazardous compounds. Placing batteries in trash is illegal and environmentally harmful. The manufacturer's usage guide covers operation, not disposal. An Internet search is unreliable compared to the official MSDS.
