Question: Why can't put acid
in my battery when il is dis
charged TX.
Answer: Tho solution in the bat
terry contains sufficient acid when
the battery is discharged. unless in
some special case you know the So
luton has been spilled out. This
acid is in the plates, not in the So
luton. This is Indicated by low
specific gravity. In this case, it is
necessary to charge the battery until
the acid that is in the plates has
been forced out into the solution. If
acid was added before charging, the
solution becomes so strong that it
would injure the battery ind in
sulation.
Question: In your directions You
say, store a battery in warm
place" Why is this?-R. e.
Answer: There is a danger of a

has not been properly charged up.
Any battery that is to be left in a
cold place should be kept up to full
charge Otherwise, the solution be-
ing of a low density. might freeze
and break the jars.
Question: Can / pour the acid
out of my battery and fill with
stronger acid?-G. d.
Answer: This will do no good
and will injure the battery. Charge
it up for several hours at low rate.
