the one form OF storage in which
the wear on. the battery is abso-
lutely stopped. If for no other
reason this should recommend 1t
to the automobile owner.
In tearing down the battery the
expert will be, able to tell its con-
|dition without. a doubt; he can
determine whether it is fit for
service without further attention
or whether repairs, if any, are
necessary.
If the battery is stored dry it is
fitted with new insulation in the
spring and this method insures
the owner satisfactory service
when the battery is again put
into commission.

TWO WAYS OF
STORING BATTERIES.


10 The car owner who contem-
plates storing his car during the
winter the problem of caring for
his storage battery presents IL
self. 1t is not enough TO merely
take the battery off the car and
put 1t in a place where it cannot
freeze. for even when it is not in
use the battery is slowly discharg-
ing itself. If, therefore, the own
er does not give his battery defi-
mite attention during the winter
he is likely to find it dead yhen
he comes TO use il in the spring.
Storm gthe storage battery at
the battery service station is by
far The best solution to the stor-
age problem. In the Willard
service stations Two kinds of stor-
age are offered to the car owner,
namely, wet storage and dry stor-.
age.
Leaving the battery in wet stor-
age means simply that the car
owner is leaving his battery in
lcharee of the battery experts who
see that it is fully charged and
kept in that condition that it is
filled with distilled water at reg
ular periods and that the best of
care is taken of it during the win
ter.
Wet storage, however, is not
entirely satisfactory The Will
lard Storage Battery company
docs not at all recommend it for
batteries that are over year old
or that have seen hard service.
The reason for this is that when
the battery is in wet storage nat
ural deterioration is all the time
going on, just as it is when the
battery is on the car In the or
binary course of events the insu-
lation in a battery is going TO
break down sooner or later and
| this might happen during the pc
Rod that the battery is in wet
storage. The insulation then
would have to be entirely renewed
Ito make the battery serviceable
fand even were this done there
would be some question as to
whether the plates would be in
good condition for another sea-
sons service.
Dry storage is by far the more
satisfactory means of storing.
The battery is completely dissem-
Iblcd and the elements removed
from the cells, cured and put in
a dry place, to be re-assembled
in the spring. Obviously this is
