text: According to a USGS case study, over the years 1996-2005 the amount of lithium used per year in the United States in four specific battery markets (camcorders, cameras, cell phones, and portable computers) grew threefold, whereas the total U.S. "apparent" consumption of lithium (this does not include imported or exported products) decreased by 7% due to declining U.S. aluminum production.
