Lithium batteries might be difficult to recycle, but lithium is not the only battery technology, and not even the most suitable in some geographical regions or applications. Lithium batteries do not tolerate high ambient temperatures, requiring air conditioning to keep them cool or they lose capacity and lifetime. they are also subject to theft in remote locations, such as phone towers due to their light weight.
Flow batteries are an alternative technology. These are very recyclable, tolerate high temperatures without air conditioning, and last much longer that lithium's life of 10 years. They also tend to be fairly heavy so not easy to steal. They tend to be more suitable for telecoms applications.
