What is the possible environmental impact of millions of NiMH and Lithium auto batteries?

What is involved on producing these, and what are the waste products and mining costs for materials?

Perhaps more importantly, what happens when we get millions of these batteries expiring each year? How recyclable are the component parts? What happens to the batteries that wind up abandoned in back yards and behind mechanic shops?

How toxic are the materials used?

It seems like we maybe swapping one large KNOWN environmental problem for new equally large UNKNOWN environmental challenge.
