I am very concerned with batteries being recycled as I care about our planet. I just took a bunch of old Lithium ion batteries to our local toxic waste event for recycling.

You are correct in being concerned. Less than 1% of lithium-ion batteries are currently being recycled in Europe and America. Lead-acid batteries have 99% recycling.
