It''s no good if you make a motor that has no rare earth metals, but using it depletes your batteries faster, which also require ecologically damaging processes to produce.
Batteries use many rare, declining, single-source country, and expensive metals. It''s also used in photovoltaic devices. China uses it in the lead-acid batteries used by electric bicycles. In 2005 1,312,000 pounds of cadmium were used in rechargeable batteries. Rare Earth Elements (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium
I''m writing about a setting which will be developing an industrial civilization on a planet similar to Earth in relevant ways, except that certain heavy metals such as lead, are much rarer. (SLA) don''t require maintenance. Other advantages are that lead is cheap (1/4 the price of copper), relatively easy to recycle, and that lead-acid
From that point on, it was impossible to imagine industry without the lead battery. Even more than 150 years later, the lead battery is still one of the most important and widely used battery technologies. General advantages and disadvantages of lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are known for their long service life.
