Have you wondered what happens when you through a battery?, or what it causes to humans, plants, animals , even objects?, maybe not so that's why I'm going to tell you causes and effects, and you well have a background on it .
Lets start with where does it goes?, we all know that the garbage isn't a magic portal that you throw anything in it and it well just disappear, I wish it was like that but it's not, anyway there are ways to get rid of it either : recycling , landfilling , burning , and a lot more .

And now how does it affect us?, the batteries have acids and heavy metals, they may pass an electric current that damages and kill tissue. (any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products), and there are signs so that you'll know if any chemical are inside your body: either your mouth lips, tongue will become red, or that the teeth will be black or gray, or it'll be continual swallowing, drooling, of you'll have a painful or swollen belly.
how do we store them in a way they wouldn’t affect us?, researchers say that it's recommended storage temperature for most batteries is 15°C.
and the big question is how do we recycle them?, now more than 97% of the lead acid batteries are recycled in the USA, and Only 20% to 40% of cellular phone and consumer batteries are recycled, So if the batteries are properly disposed there are nothing wrong with using them, for example : the NiCds battery were improperly disposed there could be damage also it could be devastating, and if they are carelessly disposed in landfills the cadmium slowly dissolves, and leak into the water supplies, also the Primary lithium battery when they are in the recycling process the exposed lithium would cause a fire.
