Ever Kick a Battery to Pieces?

Of course you wouldn't do it intentionally.
No good driver would.
But lot of experienced drivers of trucks
and passenger cars have kicked their bat
teres to pieces without even knowing it by
banging on the starting button when the -
motor didn't take hold at once.
Perhaps the trouble was just thick oil.
Maybe water had accumulated in the
carburetor
Possibly a connection had worked loose.
Butwhatever it was the battery had to suffer.
You can get far longer life from your battery and
incidentally from your whole car if you'll always be
where the trouble is and correct it just
as you locate it.

subjected to destruction by war, not
