Both are considered more environmentally friendly than lead batteries‚ but nickel-based batteries are known as carcinogens and there are concerns about the health problems they can cause though this is still the subject of much research. * The only type of driving not particularly suited to hybrid cars is

are used in Pakistan. These are known as “Wet or Flooded Batteries”. The manufacturers have long been in business and have recouped their investments many times over. Further‚ they have refined production methods using cheap raw materials (re-cycled lead). This in turn has lowered their production costs. They can‚ therefore‚ put up a tough resistance such as “price war” which does not auger well for the new technology. The
