Wonder what you gonna do with the millions  . . .  or more likely billions of batteries, once they're discarded ?

Alkaline and carbon batteries COULD be recycled, but they aren't.
When you replace the battery in your car, the lead is nearly ALWAYS recycled.
Usually the entire battery is reconditioned,
I always replace my car batteries with recycled 12v batteries. $29.95 vs $95.98 for a new one
The new battery lasts for average of five years, the recycled one for at least four.
The Lithium in a Lithium battery is not consumed, so it can be recycled.
It is simply a matter of inventing an efficient way to do this.
