[sdiy] lead and batteries

[danial stocks]

>you heard of legislation to move car batteries to lead-free?  NOPE.

hmm I think that may go with: have you heard of any really high current 
capacity/ weight ratio battery technology with exceptionally high surge 
current capability and trickle chargeability/ freedom from memory effect? 
Bear in mind also that things like Cadmium are as much of an environmental 
problem as lead is, and lithium is potentially explosive if the case 
ruptures...

At this point, battery technology is often the limiting factor in 
equipment.. [like mobile phones where 50% of the volume is the bat.. etc]
Cheers,
Dan
