Half of the cobalt reserves in the world, which are used to produce rechargeable batteries for
mobile phones, are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Since 1859, rechargeable battery technology has been around. Modern consumer gadgets,
electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage depend increasingly on them.
