Elecom will participate in an awareness event for lithium-ion batteries and similar devices, held in conjunction with the J.League official match 'Cerezo Osaka vs. JEF United Chiba' at YANMAR HANASAKA STADIUM on October 25. The event will take place at the Ministry of the Environment booth within Sustainability PARK at Nagai Park 1-1, Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

This initiative is being carried out by Elecom, a Ministry of the Environment LiB Partner and a Platinum Partner of Cerezo Osaka, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment, Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, and Cerezo Osaka. At the venue, there will be awareness panels and photo exhibits regarding lithium-ion batteries, surveys, collection of mobile batteries, and distribution of educational materials. Elecom will specifically assist in distributing safety awareness posters and materials.

Visitors who cooperate with mobile battery collection will receive a coupon for a 10% discount on a special 'Elecom x Cerezo Osaka' design mobile battery. The eligible product is the 'Cerezo Osaka Semi-Solid Mobile Battery (5,000mAh),' model number CE-BT01PN. The coupon can be used at CEREZO STORE and Elecom Direct Shop, and its validity expires on October 25. Please note that only mobile battery discount coupons will be distributed on the day; AC chargers and cables are not eligible for the discount.

The background to this initiative is the challenge of safely handling lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in mobile batteries and other devices. Degraded or damaged batteries can lead to heat generation or fire, increasing the importance of properly collecting and disposing of unwanted products. By utilizing the soccer match venue for awareness activities, the initiative aims to simultaneously promote environmental consideration and enhance safety awareness.
