AB  - An environmental impact assessment model for secondary batteries under 
      uncertainty is proposed, which is a combination of the life cycle assessment 
      (LCA), Eco-indicator 99 system and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The LCA can 
      describe the environmental impact mechanism of secondary batteries, whereas the 
      cycle performance was simulated through MCS. The composite LCA-MCS model was then 
      carried out to estimate the environmental impact of two kinds of experimental 
      batteries. Under this kind of standard assessment system, a comparison between 
      different batteries could be accomplished. The following results were found: (1) 
      among the two selected batteries, the environmental impact of the Li-ion battery 
      is lower than the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery, especially with regards 
      to resource consumption and (2) the lithium ion (Li-ion) battery is less 
      sensitive to cycle uncertainty, its environmental impact fluctuations are small 
      when compared with the selected Ni-MH battery and it is more environmentally 
      friendly. The assessment methodology and model proposed in this paper can also be 
      used for any other secondary batteries and they can be helpful in the development 
      of environmentally friendly secondary batteries.
