So assume they are equally dirty.
thus comparing the 2 lifecycles, batteries are "cleaner" overall.
Once one makes an assumption and subsequent comparisons are invalid.
why do we need to know the precise dirtiness, which is never going to be known
If mining for lithium and other battery components is much dirtier than extracting oil then overall batteries may still be dirtier even after recycling is taken into account.
