Are these all lead acid?

What about lithium?  I thought they were supposed to be better. Aren't
they using them in the new battery powered cars?

I know that when it comes to batteries there's always a trade off.
Everyone's been waiting for the next breakthrough in battery power
sources so that the automobile industry can take the next step.

With all of the advances in DNA research maybe someone should take a
look at developing a giant hamster that thrives on carbon for power
