In batteries where nickel/cadmium is used, cadmium is a toxic heavy metal. It's easy reclaim, I'm lead to believe, but it's nasty stuff. There's an interesting (if dated - Lithium Ion batteries aren't mentioned) here - http://www.transportation.anl.gov/pdfs/B/239.pdfSo, just as with the mining, you're still dealing with the nasty stuff, and how efficiently you can reclaim it is crucial. It appears that lithium technology is where it's at for batteries, or as far as I can ascertain. Either way, handling toxic heavy metals aside, apparently there isn't as much in the way of show-stopping issues with battery recycling as I thought! That said, there appears to be precious little out there on the subject of the recycling process and it's ins and outs.

I think 'THINGS WE NEVER EXPECTED TO HEAR ON TOP GEAR' is possibly an ideal suggestion for the Mock the Week final round. Jon

I do love Lambos, but yes, that Noble is gorgeous. Another one for the Lottery win garage.
