title: New trends in portable x-ray batteries and technology.
abstract: "Technological improvements in lead-acid battery design have caused them to rival the performance of wet cell NiCd batteries," declares Mr. Hasse. Since there is substantial maintenance involved with wet cell NiCds, a changeover to a different battery type could be a cost saving move. This informative article brings the reader up-to-date on all the recent lead-acid entries in the market, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each.
