Remanufacturing lead acid batteries is also polluting.
The new generation of lithium ion batteries will also be polluting to
make and to mine the lithium most of which is in Bolivia. Not a place
known for technological expertise or concern for the environment.

You obviously don't know much about battery chemistry then. What do you
think happens to the degraded ( polluted ) acid for one simple example ?

You can't recycle all of it you know.

No it doesn't. It's hopelessly costly and unreliable.
I will combine with any others who make their intentions clear to have you
banned from ebay. We don't like spamming liars.
