Another benefit of moving to lithium battery technology is to eliminate the environmental and health issues that are caused by NiCd, NiMH, and SLA batteries. These toxic substances can cause harm to humans and the environment if not disposed of and recycled correctly. There is significant concern that with the expected increase in Lithium battery powered products coming in the market will result in an increase of old batteries finding their way to landfill.
The harmful substances in questions come in the form of the following three battery types;
These three substances are known to have a harmful impact on both human and the environment so much so that the National Pollutant Inventory produced by the Australian Federal Government lists Cadmium, Lead, and Nickel among it 93 priority hazardous substances. Also, the recycling rate of these batteries is understood to be less than 5% and this is of major concern given the amount of these substances entering landfill.
From an environmental and health perspective Lithium Iron Phosphate contains no toxic heavy metals and no carcinogens and provides a significant reason to consider Lithium over NiCd and NiMH.
More information can be found on the ExitCYCLE website regarding issues with NiCd and NiMH batteries and the recycling initiatives set up to reduce these products ending up in landfill.
