Yes. All of the Bescor belts I have seen were either AGM lead-acid batteries or gel-cell lead-acid batteries. They are heavy, but cheap and very difficult to damage. However, they charge in a very different way than NiCds and NiMH batteries, you will want to replace them with newer lead-acid types which won't cost much. As far as replacing NiCd types with NiMH types, you can do this if you are only trickle charging, but the high-rate NiCd chargers will rapidly destroy the NiMH batteries. The NiMH batteries are a lot higher capacity and have higher peak current too, but they are also less rugged than the NiCd types. If you put NiMH cells into the battery pack of a CP-16 for instance, the rather crude Cinema Products charger will wreck them pretty quickly. On the other hand, they'll be fine in a Scoopic with the slow charger. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
