    Yes. Things can be infinitely recyclable. But since you’re such an expert. Tell me, what part of a lithium atom degrades during its life as a battery? I’m not expecting a good answer from you though since you think that burning a compound (to release the energy in its bonds) is then recyclable.

    No, nothing can be recycled to infinite. It is asinine to even attempt to assert that.

    But since you’re such an expert. Tell me, what part of a lithium atom degrades during its life as a battery?

    Recycling Lithium batteries recovers approximately 20-96% of materials. This means best case scenario, which is not the norm in battery recycling, every time a battery is recycled 4% of the materials are lost.

    Doesn’t take a math genius to see how quickly finite resources dry up with a 4% loss every single time a batteries life ends.

    Funny because I never said gas was recyclable. You should learn to read before you try to make snide comments.

    I hope the simple math and explaination I used is understandable to you, but I am not expecting much.

      Like I thought, you’re misunderstanding what you’re reading.

      Yes current recycling processes can lose 4% of the material. But that’s not because they aren’t recoverable, that’s because it’s not currently financially feasible to recover it all.

      And that’s just the recycling part. For someone suggesting that I should read better you sure aren’t great at reading either. So I’ll ask it again.

      What part of the metal atoms degrade as part of them being used in batteries?

        Like I thought, you have nothing meaningful to say. I won’t waste further time with you.
