Researchers led by Ohio State University engineers examined used car batteries and discovered that over time lithium accumulates beyond the battery electrodes - in the "current collector," a sheet of copper whichhttp://www.spacemart.com/reports/New_Factor_could_Limit_the_Life_of_Hybrid_and_Electric_Car_Batteries_999.html
