What are the practical differences between Lithium batteries and Lithium-ion batteries and is one or the other an eco-hazard?

The biggest differences are that lithium batteries contain lithium metal and are not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries, however, do not contain lithium metal and can be recharged.The small lithium and lithium ion batteries that are provided an exception to dangerous goods/hazardous materials regulations are used primarily in consumer applications. Small lithium batteries are often used in cameras and watches. Lithium ion batteries are commonly found in cellular phones and laptop computers.Batteries does not have any eco-hazard as long as it is not carelessly dumped with general waste. It can only pose threat to environment as it contains metals like.. lithium, nickel, chromium, iron,etc. and which can leach to groudwater and contaminate soil if not disposed off responsibly.
