KEEP FULL CHARGE
IN BATTERIES. IS
EXPERTS ADVICE

The only way to get the most out OF
storage battery in service ard in
length of life is to keep ii fully
charged. according to Harry Henry
OF the local Willard service station.
BY far the greater number of re-
pairs that We DO on batteries, says
Henry, are necessary because the
owners do not seem TO have realized
the necessity Of keeping their bat
teries fully charged. 1t stands to
reason that a half-chargPd battery
cannot do the work that requires the
power of a fully charged battery and
do it without SOme-iniury, any more
than one man can do two mems work
and do it regularly without hurting
himself physically.
A battery that is constantly half
charged lCScs part Of its capacity for
renewal. TIE plates become hardened
and no treatment will bring. them.
back again to their first satisfactory
condition.
Keeping the battery undPrCharged,
then. affects the owner in two ways.
First, he does not get the satisfactory
service from his battery that he would
if it were fully charged. and. second.
the Dattery lasts much less than half
as long as a fully charged one would.
In other words. the owner is out in
service and in money.
The remedy is right in the car
owners own hands. He must have
definite means OF knowing whether his
battery is being kept fully charged on
not. This means that &S regularly as
he ~fills the battery with distilled
water he must test it with a hydro
neter syringe. If he does this every
two weeks at the outside he knows
enough about the condition Of his bat
terry to be able to have any trouble
corrected in good season.
For instance, if he is running his
car under conditions that call for
many stops. a great deal of energy for
light and short runs. the battery is
Immediately affected. for it must sup
ply power for the cranking of the en-
CINE and for the lights. but the gen
orator does not get chance to return
sufficient power to the battery to off
set this drain.
If the car owner does not make
frequent tests of his battery he does
net know this. and in a short time his
battery is dead or so exhausted that
| it is no longer able to perform its
ldutieS.
