Battery production, recycling, etc and the batteries themselves are very toxic. Seems like we are trading one form of pollution ( polluting the atmostphere ) with poisoning our land. I remember it wasn't too long ago where we were told not to use too many batteries because they were toxic...
- madengr 9y agoNickel Cadmium (typical rechargeable) and Silver Oxide (watch batteries w/ mercury) are bad. Lead Acid (cars) are very recyclable, and considering there is no new lead production in the US, will command a premium for recycling. I don't think Carbon Zinc and most Lithiums are a problem.
