Apt to Ruin Plates.

The importance of using pure water
to replace that which evaporates can
not be too strongly urged. II other
elements are introduced into the solu-
ton they have no function, and are
therefore detrimental. Their only re-
suit is to set up injurious reactions
that defeat the purpose of the battery.
In fact, impurities in the lead or in
the electrolyte set up local chemical
action that is apt to ruin the plates.
The makers of batteries see to 1t that
the lead used in the grids Is pure but
all that can be done after the battery
gets into service is to attempt to I'm
press upon the user the necessity for
carrying out the purity idea all through.
II the acid is not chemically pure. or II
the water is taken from iron pipes or
metal reservoirs so that it is more than
likely to contain some iron or other
metal in it, the efficiency of the battery
Is at once impaired
This is why all the battery instruction
books and all battery stations tell you to
use either pure rain water or distilled
water that you can get from drug store.
AS the amount Of water that has to be
added Is very small at each filing time,
| titled water for this purpose The careful
motorist who realizes the necessity for
| care OF the battery will keep bottle Of
pure water in the garage all the time.
Distilled Water Used.
Nearly all frst-class garages in the
cities keep distilled water constantly on
| hand. Often a motorist will laugh at the
| idea Of adding pure water and will put
| some in that he draws from the tap 1t
seems to do the trick all right and he sees
| no necessity for troubling about distilled
water. Possibly once or twice this faucet
water can be used without noticeably bad

The National Automobile Chamber of

is actively interested in the movement,
which is sweeping the country from

a committee to Investigate the matter

Plate Starts to Harden.

AS soon as the plates become exposed
to the air sulphation begins. and that part
Of the plate that is out of the solution
starts to harden. 1t requires the medium
of the electrolyte to cause the chemical
action to take place, and hence as soon as
any parts of the plates are out OF the
solution their capacity for the receiving
or discharging of electrical energy Is re-
duced in proportion to the amount they
are exposed. Even if there were no other
damaging results OF not putting in water.
you can see that as the water evaporated
more and more, causing constant lower
ing Of the level of the electrolyte, the ca
pacity of the battery would become less
and less, until finally there would be so
much more acid in proportion to the wa
ter that IT would be impossible for the
necessary chemical reactions to take
place. The oxygen and the hydrogen in
the water must be used.

CARE OF BATTERIES
IS SHIELD IMPORTANT
Additional Water and Not Acid

DETERIORATION CAUSED
BY NON-ATTENTI0N
How Careful Motorist May Get Best
Results as Set Forth
by Journal.

Few persons realize that healthy
storage battery that is properly taken
care of and is in continuous use
does not require the addition OF
any acid to the electrolyte except
at intervals long apart. Most bat
teries may need additional acid about
once a year but ordinarily all that has to
be added is the water at regular periods
of one week. or two weeks at the longest.
So important is the matter of adding
water regularly that most Of the makers
of cars have put such instructions at
some conspicuous place on the cowl or
under the hood, along with the instruc-
lions for oiling the motor. One is just
as important as the other in the eyes OF
great many You would not think of
running the engine without oil. nor would
you knowingly run without water in the
radiator The same care that you give
the cooling system and the fabrication
system must also be accorded the bat
terry if you are going to have any salts

says Motor Age in one of series of ar
ticles on the storage battery.

Weakening of Solution.

1t often happens that if you take all
the plugs out at once you will forget
and put the solution that you have
drawn into the hydrometer back into
the wrong cell. thus bringing the level
too low in one of the others and too
high in this one. When you draw the
electrolyte into the hydrometer, you
take out acid as well as water, and if
you then neglect to return this, but
fll the cell to the proper level with
water instead, Is the writer has some
times seen misinformed garage men
do, you are weakening the acid in the
solution.
Another little thing that might cause
trouble is to use a dirty hydrometer
Sometimes foreign matter will get into
it, such as particles of dust or dirt or
even a little oil or grease. These. if
introduced into the electrolyte, are apt
to do harm. You should be sure the
hydrometer is perfectly clean before
taking any readings.

results. but in not a very long time the
effect on the battery will become appar
ent. When it gives out Unexpectedly and
when a new battery has to be purchased
this careless owner wishes he had been
more judicious in the kind of water used
In adding water be careful not to fill
the cells too full. To keep the level a
quarter inch to half inch above the top
of the plates is all that is necessary. If
you fill the cells above this point the
jarring and shaking of the machine when
in service are apt to splash some of it
out through the vent holes. This stopping
is bad for the battery as whole. The
strong acid will eat the wood case in
which the cells are kept and it will tend
to corrode the terminals cause injurious
fumes within the battery box and damage
to the insulation on the wires. In case
any water splashes out of the cells. wipe
it off at once with waste or cloths

What Happens to Battery.

Let US see what happens to the bat
terry that is not given it's weekly or BIZ
weekly drink of pure water. You know
that water evaporates to some extent in
the battery. and that the sulphuric acid
does not. Hence there is a constant ten
dency for the electrolyte to have
stronger proportion of the acid. and this
must be overcome by the addition Of more
water. The battery does not use up the
water as fast as the coiling system does,
but the idea is the same. When the bat
terry is charging fine spray is given
off by the solution. this usually being ex-
pressed as gassing. This spray is prin-
cipally water vapor
AS the water is constantly being evap-
Grated. since the battery is charging
whenever the engine is running at the re-
quired speed. and as there is also bound
to be some loss through spillage, etc, it
will not take much more than week in
sumnE5T- or two weeks in the winter for
the solution level to get below the tops
of the plates within the cell.
