Subject: Re: Canister Lights / Bitz

NiCa / NiMH has a different discharge curve ( v/t)
Voltage stays constant till dropoff point, whereas lead acid have a
monotonous falling characteristic.
The former  are found in most HQ lamps in Europe. Lead acids is cheaper. 
My Hartenberger NiCa 124 served 13 years without any failure, before the
accus had to be replaced because they did not hold the charge.
