It is almost time for there to be a requirement to make batteries with less lead per unit capacity. This is to allow the use of cheapp lead batteries in automobiles. Firefly was going to do it. But lithium is more exotic so the US goverment decided to kill Firefly, and so did caterpillar and the Swedish company. Optima batteries can do it and can be modified to do it better. Optima batteries can be made for electric cars and plug in hybrids. The csiro battery in optima form could be investigated. ..HG..
