You can't just say battery. There's tons of energy storage that isn't chemical based. Thermal sand batteries, pumping hydro up a hill, flywheel energy storage, etc.

Energy storage doesn't inherently mean pollution

I can only assume op meant a lithium ion battery. Based on context.

Yeah, the cobalt and lithium is quite nasty to mine
