What is a Battery Button Trace ID?
A Battery Button Trace ID is a unique code formed into an internal face of the Battery Button. It stays out of sight while the button is fitted, but remains readable when the button is removed from the battery.
Three simple steps
How to report a found Battery Button
You do not need to identify or contact the owner yourself. Send us what you can see and we will take it from there.
Find the ID
Look on the internal face of the Battery Button for the code beginning with Z.
Send a photo
Email the code, a clear picture of the button or battery, and where it was found.
We contact the owner
We check the order record and privately contact the original purchaser to help arrange its return.

Not sure what you found?
How to identify a Battery Button without the Trace ID
If the ID is hard to read, or the Battery Button is still fitted, send us a photo of the complete battery and any visible wording. We may still be able to identify the model and guide you to the code.
- Photograph the whole battery or loose button
- Include the location and date it was found
- Do not post the full Trace ID publicly
