  There's that smug superiority of yours overshadowing actual science again, Sam.

  Bert didn't say anything about lead-acid batteries.

  He said that a 12V battery is two 6V batteries, whereas automotive lead-acid batteries comprise six 2V cells in series. If he was talking about car batteries, he was wrong. Offhand I don't know of any commercially available six volt primary cells.

  However, he was right in that every otherwise unused cubic inch of an electric car should be crammed with storage cells of whatever chemistry.

  The HV (main) batteries in the Prius are Ni-MH types.

  Have you considered the carbon footprint of the production of the lanthanum and neodymium in your Prius, and the materials in the other battery types you mention?

  Lithium in particular is mass-produced by electrolysis of lithium salts.

  You do know that modern rechargeable alkaline batteries contain no mercury or cadmium, and are fairly common, don't you?

  Keep looking, because there are severe technological barriers to its adaptation to mass manufacturing.
