All batteries can and should be recycled, from what I understand lead acid have the least amount of waste in their recycling with around 99% of the battery being able to be recycled in to a new battery, anyone know how lithium batteries compare? how about energy input for the recycling?
I'm sure it's going to be kind of like the mercury in CLF light bulbs (easy to recycled) being less then the mercury being spewed in to our air > water > fish by power plants trying to produce the power for less efficient bulbs and how one is a waste that is just wasted and slowly kills us and the other looks bad but is much less bad.
