Therein lies the problem. Lithium is dangerous stuff. Its a heavy metal neurotoxin. If it gets into groundwater thats very bad. If it gets into our waterbodies, the next stop is the foodchain, again very bad.
Right now disposal of lithium cells is a huge issue.
"In North America,Toxco and Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) collect spent batteries and recycle them. While Toxco has its own recycling facilities, RBRC is in charge of collecting batteries and sending them to recycling organizations. Toxco in Trail, British Columbia, claims to be the only company in the world that recycles large lithium batteries. They receive spent batteries from oil drilling in Nigeria, Indonesia and other places. "
Then there is the big NiCads on commercial airplanes that use them to power the aux power unit. Cadmium is another bad one. Aaron might have some info on what happens to those when they are toast.

For me it would be a late 80's Jefferson 56. The 3 private cabins and all that wood - check them out sometime.
