knightfisher Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yep the first acid battery was invented 216 years ago. We are still using this system in our cars. Does it really make sense that we still depend on this antiquated technology. I think the suppressed technology would put to many out of business.

Tom S Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yep the first acid battery was invented 216 years ago. We are still using this system in our cars. Does it really make sense that we still depend on this antiquated technology. I think the suppressed technology would put to many out of business. The nice thing about acid batteries are that if something happens to them that causes a leak or breakage, the acid can be easily neutralized and the lead recycled. With new batteries you don't want there to be any chance of a leak, they use some pretty nasty materials like lithium and mercury. With electric cars becoming feasible it makes me wonder what the disposal of them will be like in 20 years, and if the fire departments are receiving additional training on how to deal with battery leaks.
