LEADACID
Lead-acid is one of the oldest battery types, and is
highly prevalent in our automobile-based society.
The toxicity of lead and its high weight-to-energy
ratio make these not a very attractive choice. They
are, however, the most recycled battery currently,
though the environmental and health costs of
working with lead are still very high.
