As I recall, GE was first to commercialize the cylindrical sealed Nicad cells. They spun off their battery division to Gould, then to GATES... or some such memory muddled permutation like that...

Ah well, I think that probably settles it then:-) In a message dated 10/09/2013 15:17:16 GMT Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Nigel, All help appreciated. I never knew about SLA batteries in a 1/2 D size looking like NiCd's. I have seen 'packaged' cylindrical SLA's as used in the battery option HP 5315A but they are much bigger than a 'D' cell. The cells certainly look like NiCd based on the 'corrosion' and 'exudate' they produced. I have never seen an SLA do that. In addition, they clearly say 'RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY' in all caps, bold letters next to the 'GE' trademark. Thanks again. Joe
