Why Batteries Wear Out

'"The storage battery" says the 10.
cal Willard expert, "is just as liable to
wear out as tires, and like the tire, it
must be given careful attention. by the
owner if the longest possible life is to
be obtained from it.
"a storage battery is chemical ap-
paratus consisting of positive and neg
atiye lead plates immersed in electro
lyte. solution of sulphuric acid. When
the starting motor is used or the
lights or ignition system put on the
circuit, certain electro-chemical ac-
ton takes place between the positive
and negative plates in the presence of
the electrolyte and electricity flows
through the wires.
"As this chemical action continues
the character of the plates change and
the current will, ultimately, cease to
flow and the battery will be dead. This
condition, however, is fOrestalled by
the generator, causing the current to
flow in the opposite direction, or to
charge the battery.
Charging the battery does not mean
the battery but that by means of elec-
tricity the plates are being restored to
the condition in which they were be-
fore the discharge began.
Because it is a chemical apparatus
then, and not mechanical like ma
chine of iron and steel, the storage
battery cannot be subjected to wear
and tear Of service without gradually
deteriorating. Even when the battery
is at rest, some action is going on, and
discharge is slowly taking place.
"In time the plates lose their capac-
ity for reacting to the electrical charg-
ing. The insulation is all the time
gradually wearing out and finally that
gives way. Even with the best of care
and with the best possible material,
this is going to happen with any stor-
age battery.
But the battery does not always re-
ceive the best attention It is the one
accessory on the car which the aver
age car owner seems to neglect. The
car owner, however, should get his full
moneys worth from good battery If
he gives it care, although, as we have
pointed out he should expect to buy a
new battery some day. This is Just as
reasonable an expense as buying new
tire.
From the foregoing it is perfectly
obvious that batteries must be made
of the best quality possible to begin
with and then, II they are kept in eff
cient condition. they must have good
treatment at the hands of the owners.
It is impossible to prescribe any def
mite term of life for storage battery
for its period Of efficiency may vary
Greatly according to the two factors
Just mentioned, as well as in accord
ance with the quality and condition of
the starting motor and generator"
