New acid revitalised battery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicad

'battery' is the definition.
(nicad is a kind of battery)

'new acid revitalised' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'revitalised' is an anagram indicator.
'acid' is an anagram of 'icad'.
'n'+'icad'='NICAD'

(Other definitions for nicad that I've seen before include "cell" , "Battery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
