Don't worry about your lead-acid batteries being bad for the environment. Recycle them properly, and rest assured that a significant portion of the lead used in new batteries comes from the old ones. This is far better for the environment than the mining, processing, smelting, and manufacture of a lithium battery, for instance. In this case, the existing technology is actually quite effective, and cost-effective to boot, at doing its job.
