Recycling batteries is a toxic business.
Different type of battery. The Exide plant recycled lead acid batteries - what's in your car. The batteries used in power tools are lithium ion which have a longer life and a more useful recycling environment - ie companies can recycle the lithium.

Many states/areas of the country still can't even recycle more than 50% of the plastic they take in so how are they going to expand or upgrade to toxic batteries en masse?
Our recycler no longer takes plastic. Thy say there is no market for it.

You can if you spend another $30K on two Tesla Powerwalls to store that solar and give you A/C and run your fridge. No idea what it will cost you to replace them in ~10 years though. Isn't this progress??

This is the kind of stupid low importance stuff that these idiots spend time on here in this state. Like I posted in another thread, the damn plane is flying into the mountain here in this state and we're wasting time on this kind of stuff.

Not that it's the end of the world, but now this is going to make gardening work more expensive than it needs to be.
